Global WSS-based equalization strategies for SDN metropolitan mesh optical networks

We experimentally demonstrate the benefits of global (end-to-end) WSS-based spectrum equalization for multiple ROADMs in cascade. We introduce three equalization strategies to enable OSNR enhancement in a SDN metropolitan mesh optical network test-bed with 80 × 128 Gb/s.
