Abstract

We demonstrate dynamic optical transport connectivity to various lengths and types of fiber (SMF, DSF, GI-62.5/125 fiber) with a 100 Gbit/s digital coherent optical transponder. The outage time associated with connection was only ~70 ms (potentially as fast as 20 ms) in all configurations. This feature provides great simplicity and flexibility as regards immediate broadband connection to the backbone networks in case of a devastating disaster.
