A Low-Cost Network Architecture Enabled by SOA-Based Filter-Less OADMs and Digital Subcarrier Multiplexing (W2A.14)
Presenter: Carlos Castro, Infinera Germany
Enabled by digital subcarrier multiplexing and filter-less architectures based on semiconductor optical amplifiers, our point-to-multipoint scheme can cover distances of up to 350 km with OSNR margins > 9.3 dB in typical BT horseshoe networks
