Nowadays, the fiber spectrum is only partially exploited, ie, mainly in the C-band and more
recently in the C+ L-band, where the fiber attenuation profile experiences the minimum …

We investigate the exploitation of the E-band in multi-band optical networks. A guard band of
14 THz is selected to isolate E-from C-and L-bands minimizing stimulated Raman scattering …

The sheer traffic increase stimulated by new 5G-and-beyond services requires continuous
innovation in designing optical networks that scale in terms of capacity while minimizing …

The combined use of S-band and Raman amplification to cost-effectively increase the
capacity of C+ L-band transmission system is assessed. We show that Raman amplification …

The throughput gains of extending the optical transmission bandwidth to the S+ C+ L-band
are quantified using a Gaussian Noise model that accounts for inter-channel stimulated …

Multiband (MB) optical fiber transmission systems can unlock additional capacity in existing
optical fiber infrastructures, enabling them to keep up with the increase in traffic demand …

C+ L-band optical networks suffer from transmission impairments including amplified
spontaneous emission noise and Kerr-induced and stimulated-Raman-scattering-induced …

Telecommunication networks are becoming the central linking institution of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. To cope with the associated capacity and connectivity challenges …

Capacity enhancement by utilising the unused spectral bands of the low-loss optical window
of standard single-mode fibre (SSMF) is a cost-effective solution for meeting the future …
