Abstract

The feasibility of achieving faster data transmission using advanced digital modulation techniques over the current CMS Tracker analog optical link is explored. The spectral efficiency of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation -Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (QAM-OFDM) makes it an attractive option for a future implementation of the readout link. An analytical method for estimating the data-rate that can be achieved using OFDM over the current optical links is described and the first theoretical results are presented.
