Enabling S-C-L-Band Systems With Standard C-Band Modulator and Coherent Receiver Using Coherent System Identification and Nonlinear Predistortion

One promising and competitive solution to keep up with the rapid growth in data traffic while at the same time addressing increasing network cost, is the efficient reuse of legacy optical fiber infrastructure. This is highly desirable as deployed single mode fibers represent a valuable asset in the network while new installations would require high additional investments. Multiband (MB) or ultra-w...
