New Photonic Gateway to Handle Digital -Coherent and IM DD User Terminals and Enable Turn -back Connections in Metro/Access-Integrated All-Photonics Network
We propose and demonstrate a novel Photonic Gateway architecture that can flexibly and scalably handle both 100-Gbit/s digital -coherent and IM-DD user terminals with direct optical connections including turn-back channels. (c) 2023 The Authors
