Highlights:
- Provides an experimental demonstration of high-speed downstream and upstream transmission in a converged metro + access optical network configuration, using off-the-shelf coherent transceivers and ROADM components. Optica Publishing Group
- Shows viability of bidirectional coherent transmission over metro-access links, which supports future converged architectures with simplified infrastructure and enhanced capacity.
- Represents an important step toward scaling access networks using metro-grade coherent technologies.
