Add-drop Multiplexing for Spectrally Overlapped Nonlinear Frequency Division Multiplexed Transmission Systems

Optical Fiber Communication Conference, pp. W2A.26

Abstract

We present an add-drop multiplexer for WDM nonlinear frequency division multiplexed transmission systems, capable of replacing channels in a modulated spectrum that uses spectral overlap to stitch the nonlinear spectrum to avoid guard bands.
