“…To catch up with this increase, link capacity of core and metro optical networks have grown up to several terabit/s per fiber pair [2] mainly allowed by the improvement of transmission system performances. To benefit from the network transparency and thus reduce the overall cost and consumption of the networks [3], Reconfigurable Optical Add and Drop Multiplexers (ROADM) are now widely deployed.…”

Abstract-In this paper, we present a novel networking technique based on optical Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM). We highlight the interesting features of the solution with respect to existing ones (fully opaque optical networks and transparent networks) for optical metro and core networks. We show that under certain traffic condition MB-OFDM may offer useful flexibility in the context of increasing wavelength bit rates.Keywords: multi-bands orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; optical networking; reconfigurable optical add and drop multiplexer
