Field trial of coherent channel tuning from co-existing channels filling full C-band using 100GbE transponder

We present the world first field trial with coherent channel tuning from co-existing channels distributed among full C-band, 4.4 THz, after 1,500-km transmission, and record 3,000-km single-channel transmission, both using an accomplished 100-GbE transponder.
