title: Design and simulation of 25 Gb/s optical OFDM transceiver ASICs.
abstract: We select the optimum design parameters for real-time optical OFDM transceivers running at 25 Gb/s and analyze power consumption and ASIC footprint for a variety of configurations based on synthesis for a 65nm standard-cell library. Experiments quantify the effects of modulation format and the number of IFFT/FFT points used in transceivers.
