Abstract :
This study explores the performance of operationally flexible, and fully channel reconfigurable, cost-effective metro WDM. This work also demonstrates an industrial-quality 32 × 10 Gb/s system with commercially available technology that achieves 15 × 20 dB, scaling beyond 1000 km of standard (G.652) fiber, far exceeding the previously reported related results.
