Abstract :
We demonstrate for the first time the use of asymmetric-bandwidth interleaver-based reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) to transmit 42.7-Gb/s channels on a 50-GHz grid. Differential binary phase shift keyed (DBPSK) format was used on the wide passband side and differential quadrature phase shift keyed (DQPSK) format was used on the narrow passband side of the ROADM. 25 channels with an aggregate capacity of 1-Tb/s were transported over 1280-km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) including 4 ROADMs.
