Description: The use of semiconductor amplifier in integrated transceivers increases sensitivity, but changes the noise statistics in pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) intensity modulation with direct detection. Using a straight-forward, mixed noise model, we optimize constellations for these systems with an autoencoderbased neural network (NN). We improve required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 4 dB for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE)- limited PAM4 and PAM8, without increasing system complexity. Performance can also be improved in O-band wavelength division multiplexing systems with semiconductor optical amplification and chromatic dispersion (CD). At 53 Gbaud, our simulations show we can extend the reach of PAM4 by 4 to 8 km when combining an optimized constellation with a NN decoder. We present an experimental validation of 4 dB improvement of an ASE-limited PAM4 back-to-back transmission at 60 Gbaud using an optimized constellation and a NN decoder.
