Abstract :
We present the first prototype of a real-time bandwidth-variable coherent muxponder aggregating multiple 10GigE clients onto a symbol-rate-variable PDM-QPSK optical signal. This technology enables optical transport with power consumption linearly proportional to the actual requested traffic.
