Real-time transceiver prototype to a live network

Caption

Fig. 1: (a) Experimental setup showing the connection of real-time transceiver prototype to the live network. The low baudrate signal was combined with ASE loading and connected to the live ROADM with a 50 GHz allocated channel bandwidth. (b) A map of Sunet’s Swedish fiber network with the 524 km route from Gothenburg to Karlstad and back highlighted in red. The route passed five ROADM nodes. (c) Zoom-in of the route with weather stations present. Orange denotes a station measuring both wind and temperature, green denotes temperature and blue represents a ROADM node.
