We demonstrate a 56-GBd pulse-amplitude modulation-4 compact InP transmitter module integrating a distributed feedback laser and an electro-absorption modulator, which exhibits 50-GHz bandwidth, > 13-dB extinction ratio and up to 1.5-mW output power. Successful amplifier-free 112-Gb/s transmission is performed over 2 km using low complexity three-taps equalization. We also study the tradeoff between receiver bandwidth, equalizer length and performance, and show successful signal recovery with bandwidths as low as 18 GHz when increasing the equalizer length.
