Experimental demonstration of elastic optical networking utilizing time-sliceable bitrate variable OFDM transceiver

A cost-effective time-sliceable IM/DD OFDM transceiver using low-complex DSP is experimentally investigated. Slicing capabilities are tested for concurrently serving 12.5GHz channels running up to lOGb/s variable bandwidth optical routes covering up to 185km.
