Abstract :
In this paper, solutions based on sliceable bandwidth variable optical transceivers are presented and discussed in the context of flexgrid optical aggregation networks. Potential candidates are considered taking into account the trade-off between cost and flexibility. Furthermore optical filter narrowing effect is investigated for the proposed technologies in the framework of a metro/regional network.
