First Field Demonstration of Automatic WDM Optical Path Provisioning over Alien Access Links for Data Center Exchange
First Field Demonstration of Automatic WDM Optical Path Provisioning over Alien Access Links for Data Center Exchange We demonstrated under six minutes automatic provisioning of optical paths over field- deployed alien access links and WDM carrier links using commercial-grade ROADMs, whitebox mux-ponders, and multi-vendor transceivers. With channel probing, transfer learning, and Gaussian noise model, we achieved an estimation error (Q-factor) below 0.7 dB
