Real-Time ROADM Filtering Penalty Characterization and Generalized Precompensation for Flexible Grid Networks

Concatenated filtering is an important impairment in high-spectral density transmission systems enabled by flexible-grid reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs). In this paper, an analytical model for wavelength selective switches (WSS) modules is used to determine the statistical dist...
