Impact of Contentionless ROADMs in the Transition to Multifiber Optical Networks

ACJ Neto, CE Rothenberg… - 2024 IEEE Photonics …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We evaluate the impact of the ROADM contention-less feature on transitioning to multifiber
optical networks. Simulation results indicate that CDC ROADMs delay the activation of new …
