Abstract
The usable capacity in the fiber is limited by the operating windows in the different bands. Within these constraints, the cost of the WDM line at high capacities is directly dependent on the spectral efficiency, which can be defined as the ratio of the bit rate per channel to the inter-channel spacing. The higher the spectral efficiency is, the higher is the capacity that can be packed into a single fiber.
