TL;DR: In this paper, the potential and challenges of fiber-optic multi-band transmission (MBT) covering the ITU-T optical bands O(rightarrow$ ǫ ) were discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a physical layer-aware provisioning scheme tailored for multi-band (MB) optical transmission, which utilizes the physical layer information to estimate, by means of the generalized Gaussian noise (GGN) model, the generalized signal-to-noise ratio (GSNR).

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a field trial carried out on a Telecom Italia metro link, targeting short data center interconnect applications, were reported, with a net bit rate of 400 Gb/s on a single carrier with 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and 128QAM over 156 km.

TL;DR: Various methods to mitigate the impairments introduced by state-of-the-art components within modern optical transceivers are described and numerical and experimental results validate their performance and benefits.

TL;DR: Experimental results are presented to validate the AIT concept as part of a field trial in Telia Carrier’s live optical European backbone network.
