First Demonstration of Single-Mode MCF Transport Network with Crosstalk-Aware In-Service Optical Channel Control

Abstract

We demonstrate the first crosstalk-aware traffic engineering as a use case in a multicore fibre transport network. With the help of a software-defined network controller, modulation format and channel route are adaptively changed using programmable devices with XT monitors.
