  • Abstract
    We propose a novel load-aware power-selection strategy for maximizing the transparent reach in dispersion-uncompensated flexible optical networks with coherent modulation formats, and we quantify the savings in opto-electronic regenerations with respect to using the standard full-load transparent reach.
