3. Conclusions Future networks will rely on WBL-based nodes employing SOAs for loss-less operation. The analysis performed on high-capacity DMT signals evidenced a performance limitation induced by SOA for high-saturation conditions and by the introduction of noise for lower optical powers. Nevertheless, the performance evaluation of a multichannel, multi-hop 116-km network including a MA WBL-node and MC ROADM aggregators demonstrated more than 50 Gb/s per wavelength capacity, these srultserapreomising for multi Tb/s throughput handling. 4.
