Data points for figures in the research paper "Enhancing the Vertical Resolution of Coherent Optical Receivers". Data can be visualised using software that can handle ".xlsx" files.1) The following files provide results obtained with a conventional coherent receiver and coherent receivers implementing optical intensity reshaping. All results were obtained in back-to-back configuration with noise loading. They allow reproducing Fig. 6:
- qfactor_vs_enob_b2b.xlsx: Q-factor vs effective number of bits (ENOB)
- qfactor_vs_jitter_b2b.xlsx: Q-factor vs RMS jitter
- qfactor_vs_skew_b2b.xlsx: Q-factor vs skew
- qfactor_vs_laser_lw_b2b.xlsx: Q-factor vs laser linewidth
- ccdf_vs_skew_0ps_b2b_oir.xlsx, ccdf_vs_skew_0ps_b2b_conv.xlsx, ccdf_vs_skew_10ps_b2b_oir.xlsx & ccdf_vs_skew_1ps_b2b_oir.xlsx: Complementary cumulative distribution function of peak-to-average power ratio at the presence of different skew values
2) The following files provide results obtained with a conventional coherent receiver and coherent receivers implementing optical intensity reshaping. All results were obtained in WDM configuration, assuming a span length of 20 km. They allow reproducing Fig. 7:
- qfactor_vs_launchpower_oir_nodbp.xlsx & qfactor_vs_launchpower_conv_nodbp.xlsx: Q-factor as a function of launch power for receivers implementing the technique of optical intensity reshaping and a conventional coherent receiver. Results without digital backpropagation.
- qfactor_vs_launchpower_oir_dbp.xlsx & qfactor_vs_launchpower_conv_dbp.xlsx: Q-factor as a function of launch power for receivers implementing the technique of optical intensity reshaping and a conventional coherent receiver. Results with digital backpropagation.
- qfactor_vs_jitter.xlsx: Q-factor vs RMS jitter for the WDM scenario
- qfactor_vs_skew: Q-factor vs skew for the WDM scenario
- ccdf_conv_jitter.xlsx, ccdf_oir_jitter.xlsx & ccdf_oir_ops_jitter.xlsx: Complementary cumulative distribution function of peak-to-average power ratio at the presence of different RMS jitter values.
- ccdf_conv_skew.xlsx, ccdf_oir_skew.xlsx & ccdf_oir_ops_skew.xlsx: Complementary cumulative distribution function of peak-to-average power ratio at the presence of different skew values.
