Inter-Core Crosstalk Impact on Migration Planning from Elastic Optical Networks to Spectrally-Spatially Flexible Optical Networks

We study inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) impact on migration planning toward spectrally-spatially flexible optical networks considering 22-core multi-core fiber. Results reveal, 55-70% of links need to be upgraded when ICXT ranges from −68.2 to −43.4 dB/km.1
