Network Performance Assessment of C+L Upgrades vs. Fiber Doubling SDM Solutions

We investigate on the network capacity enabled by C+L optical line systems (OLS) vs. fiber doubling showing that at optimal power, C+L OLS doubles the traffic of C-only with very-low penalty with respect to fiber doubling.
