Adaptive Coherent Receiver Settings for Optimum Channel Spacing in Gridless Optical Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel circuit and system to optimize the spacing between optical channels in gridless (also called flexible-grid or elastic) networking. The method will exploit the beginning-of-life link margin by enabling the channel to operate in super-Nyquist dense wavelength division...
