We demonstrate a record 310/256 Gbaud OOK, 197/145 Gbaud PAM4, and 160/116 Gbaud PAM6 EML/DML-based IM/DD links without any optical amplification with performance below the 6.25% overhead HD-FEC threshold after 100-m/6-km SMF, respectively.Authors: Oskars Ozolins, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB / Armands Ostrovskis, Riga Technical University / Toms Salgals, Riga Technical University / Benjamin Krüger, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Fabio Pittala, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Mahdieh Joharifar, KTH Royal Institute of Technology / Richard Schatz, KTH Royal Institute of Technology / Di Che, Nokia Bell Labs / Yasuhiro Matsui, Coherent / Thomas Dippon, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Michael Koenigsmann, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Yuchuan Fan, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB / Marek Chacinski, Coherent / Urban Westergren, KTH Royal Institute of Technology / Lu Zhang, Zhejiang University / Haik Mardoyan, Nokia Bell Labs / Sandis Spolitis, Riga Technical University / Sergei Popov, KTH Royal Institute of Technology / Xianbin Yu, Zhejiang Lab / Markus Gruen, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Vjačeslavs Bobrovs, Riga Technical University / Hadrien Louchet, Keysight Technologies GmbH / Xiaodan Pang, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
