Abstract :
We discuss dynamic OAWG and OAWM technologies as EON transceivers to generate and detect arbitrary waveforms in any modulation format across their operating bandwidth. Compared to other technologies, OAWG/OAWM provides EON with most versatility, flexibility, and optical performance monitoring capability.
