We discuss technology options and challenges for scaling intra-datacenter interconnects beyond 1 Tb/s bandwidths, with focus on two possible approaches: pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)-based intensity modulation-direct detection (IM-DD) baud-rate sampled coherent technology. In our studies, we compare the performance of various orders PAM (PAM4 to 8). addition these fixed signaling options, a flexible (FlexPAM) technique leveraging granularity in spectral efficiency (SE) is proposed...
