Experimental demonstration of flex-grid udWDM with 6.25GHz full-duplex frequency slots for Metro/Access & Data Centers

Flex-Grid 6.25GHz full-duplex frequency slots are proposed for Metro/Access & Data-Center Networks allocating: 1Gbps Nyquist-DPSK over MZM for OLT/DC-ONU downlinks and OLT/DC up-downlinks; 1Gbps NRZ-DPSK over directly modulated DFB for ONU-OLT/DC uplinks; with 50km single fiber transmission.
