How 1Tb/s Might Look…<br />
Conventional WDM vs FlexChannels<br />
Conventional Per-Channel<br />
WDM Filtering<br />
1Tb/s<br />
Guard bands allow for individual<br />
wavelength demux<br />
Limits channel density and fiber capacity<br />
Limits data rates by limiting available<br />
spectrum for modulation bandwidth<br />
Multi-Carrier FlexChannel<br />
1Tb/s<br />
Tighter spacing, or higher data rate per<br />
channel ( FlexCoherent)<br />
Up to 25% increase in useable amplifier<br />
spectrum<br />
Simplified optical switching <strong>of</strong><br />
FlexChannels with broader spectrum
