Strategies and Benefits of Deploying Ultralow-Loss Fiber Links in an Elastic Optical Network

Superchannels using efficient formats for modulation [e.g., 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 64-QAM] and transmitting high data rates (e.g., 400   Gb/s, 1   Tb/s, or even 10   Tb/s) are expected to dominate in future optical networks. Ultralow-loss (ULL) fibers promise ...
