First Demonstration of Bandwidth-on-Demand All-Optical Intra-Data Center Network Supporting Joint Waveband and Sub-Waveband Switching

We design a bandwidth-on-demand (BoD) all-optical intra-data center switching architecture. It is flexible to realize different switching capacity combinations between input-output ports. The system is experimentally demonstrated with the support software defined optical network (SDON) control capability and on-demand port-to-port switching capacity ranging from 100 Gb/s to 400 Gb/s between any input-output port pair.
