The need to expand the usable fiber spectrum and increase total fiber capacity is a key consideration for network operators with high traffic growth or fiber constraints. In this Chalk Talk, Paul Chedore, Photonic Systems Architect, provides a detailed comparison between three options for increasing the usable spectrum: the conventional 9.6 THz C+L-band, 10.8 THz Extended C + Shifted L-band, and 12 THz Extended C-band + Extended L-band.

These different options offer spectrum and capacity gains, but they are not created equally. As you explore the options for maximizing your fiber capacity with L-band, it is important to look at the entire picture when making a technology choice: performance, usable capacity gain, power, and cost.
