Abstract :
We describe an innovative transceiver for both all-optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (AO-OFDM) and Nyquist wavelength division multiplexing (NWDM) systems, that allows flexible superchannel generation, by varying the number of the subcarriers, the modulation formats and the corresponding bit rates.
