Dynamic reconfiguration of parametric frequency comb for superchannel and flex-grid transmitters

We propose and demonstrate a parametric frequency comb architecture with dynamically reconfigurable carrier frequency grid for superchannel and flex-grid elastic transmitters. Performance of 16-QAM signal generation was characterized for 100 GHz, 25 GHz, 12.5 GHz and 6.25 GHz frequency spacing.
