This paper extends a recent demonstration of a 2-line side 15-mode spatial division multiplexing network node. The node is based on fifteen 2 × 2 wavelength cross-connects (WXCs) to direct up to s…
The development of efficient anomaly detection schemes is a key element for the implementation of autonomous optical networks as they can help telecom operators to automate the location of defectiv…
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 inf…
