Abstract

Virtual grouped-wavelength-path switching is proposed and demonstrated based on polarization-independent waveband conversion in QPM-LN and supercontinuum wavelength-bank source. The 64 ch-10 Gbit/s waveband is wavelength-converted, switched and transmitted through field-installed fibers in the JGN II test bed.
