    Enabling the mixed 10G IMDD with 100G coherent channels transmission over legacy dispersion-managed links on metro network chunks will come in handy for the operators to increase network flexibility while saving on CAPEX and operate progressive upgrades with no impact on existing traffic. We developed a semi-analytical model for 10G-to-100G XPM noise allowing QoT estimation on mixed 10G/100G systems

    Real-time Detection of Anthropic Events by 10G Channels in Metro Network Segments

    Get PDF
    We present an experimental proof-of-concept on detecting SOP variations including information on mechanical stresses on the network footprint by tapping out a small amount of power from 10G channels. Data can be gathered and classified locally, in each node, delivering alerts through streaming telemetr

    Experimental Validation of QoT Computation in Mixed 10G/100G Networks

    Get PDF
    We validate experimentally a quality-of-transmission estimator of the non-linear impairment on coherent 100G channels propagating with 10G channels on dispersion-managed links for network planning and path computation. Presented estimations are conservative, spectrally and spatially disaggregated

    Spatially Disaggregated Modelling of Self-Channel NLI in Mixed Fibers Optical Transmission

    We simulate and observe the buildup of coherency in self-channel interference. We propose a spatially disaggregated model for non-uniform links with uncompensated and compensated spans. We show that the correlation coefficient can be described by a unique curve

    Network Planning Strategies for Next-Generation Flexible Optical Networks [Invited]

    Get PDF
    Using well-established results on nonlinear propagation modeling in coherent optical links, two different approaches for network planning are addressed and compared in terms of performance maximization and robustness to dynamic changes in the network, one based on maximization of the margin in the optical signal-to-noise ratio, the other on minimization of the pre-forward-errorcorrection bit error rate (BER). We show that, in pure coherent optical networks, the planning strategy that best supports the dynamic evolution of the network is the design aimed at BER minimization. A closed-form formula for the maximum reach (in terms of number of spans and loss budget) of each interface is analytically derived, which is a useful tool for the evaluation of the overall network cost for a desired traffic capacity
