8 Cascaded Linear Optical Amplifiers in a 200-km, 8 × 10-Gb/s, Metro WDM Ring Featuring Static and Dynamic Switching of Channels

WDM transmission of eight 10-Gb/s signals in a metro ring with eight cascaded Linear Optical Amplifiers shows Q-factors better than 17.6 dB (BER < 2·10-14). A system with three add/drop nodes is demonstrated. Dynamic switching of channels does not affect transmission quality of the remaining channels.
