Abstract :
This paper will study all-optical Nyquist filtering to explore its possibility for ultra-coarse granular yet flexible, efficient optical networks such as future inter-datacenter networks. We will describe key technologies including transmission, add/drop multiplexing, and spectral defragmentation of Nyquist OTDM-WDM signals.
