Real-Time ROADM Filtering Penalty Characterization and Generalized Precompensation for Flexible Grid Networks by Jie Pan, Sorin Tibuleac

“…A generalized approach for filtering penalty assessment is proposed and verified using a commercial 200G 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) transponder and WSS modules. A practical method for filter penalty reduction is described, whereby a single, optimized digital pre-equalization filter is used to compensate filtering effects of multiple concatenated WSSs. …”
