  • Abstract
    This paper introduces the Split Spectrum approach to elastic optical networking and its figure of merit. Compared to elastic optical networking, Split Spectrum allows at least 50% more non-blocking traffic and 50% higher network spectral efficiency at non-blocking loads for the investigated scenarios.
