AI Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new type of optical network that uses two 7-core multi-core fiber (MCF) links and four programmable nodes to manage traffic effectively.
- This network is designed for flexible operation, allowing it to switch traffic in multiple dimensions: space, frequency, and time, achieving an impressive bandwidth granularity of over 6000 times.
- The results indicate that the network performs well overall, with power losses (penalties) ranging from 0.75 dB to 3.7 dB, demonstrating its efficiency.
Article Abstract
We present the first elastic, space division multiplexing, and multi-granular network based on two 7-core MCF links and four programmable optical nodes able to switch traffic utilising the space, frequency and time dimensions with over 6000-fold bandwidth granularity. Results show good end-to-end performance on all channels with power penalties between 0.75 dB and 3.7 dB.
