We’re excited to announce that two simulation datasets from the SPRINTER project are now available on Zenodo. These datasets support advanced studies in VCSEL-based optical transmitters and offer detailed insights into high-speed signal transmission under varying operational conditions. Researchers, engineers and students working in the field of optical interconnects or high-speed data communications are invited to explore and build upon this work.
📁 Dataset 1 (v1.0): Simulation transmission studies of assessing transmission performance of VCSEL-based transmitters across various temperatures and fiber lengths
This dataset focuses on the simulation of transmission performance for VCSEL-based transmitters under different temperature conditions and fiber lengths.
Key aspects include:
- Temperatures: 25 °C, 55 °C, 85 °C
- Voltages: 0.4 V, 0.8 V
- Distances: Back-to-back, 500 m, 1 km
📁 Dataset 1.1 (v2.0)
Building on DS1, the updated v2.0 dataset introduces new parameters and deeper insights:
- Adds optical spectra and chirp factors
- Voltage: 200 mV
- Distances: 500 m, 1 km
This enhanced dataset enables more precise modeling of spectral behavior and chirp-induced effects in high-speed optical systems.
Created by Georgios Megas, Efstathios Andrianopoulos and Maria Massaouti, these datasets play a crucial role in the validation and performance evaluation of the SPRINTER Module-1b prototype, designed for 200 Gb/s aggregate throughput using four parallel 50 GBaud OOK-NRZ channels. By making these simulations openly available, we aim to support reproducible research and accelerate innovation in energy-efficient, short-reach optical communication systems.
We encourage the community to explore, analyze and expand upon these resources.
