Elastic Optical Networking
Research Motivation
Emerging applications with a range of transport requirement
Future applications with unknown requirements
Flexible and efficient optical networks to support existing, emerging and
future applications
Media
High-speed data
400G, 1Tb/s
Per fiber capacity increase has been accomplished through boosting SE (bit
rate, wavelength, symbol per bit, state of polarization)

DP-256QAM
@25 Gbaud
Bit loading higher than that for DP-QPSK causes rapid increase in
SNR penalty, and results in shorter optical reach
SE improvement is slowing down, meaning higher rate data need
more spectrum

Elastic Transceivers
The transceivers can generate elastic optical paths (EOPs); that is
path with variable bit rates
Tunable transceiver
Flexible Switching
The optical nodes (cross-connect) need
to support a wide range of switching
(i.e., varying from sub-wavelength to
super-wavelength)
