For F5G and next-generation (F5.5G, F6G) all-optical transport network, the capacity of backbone optical networks requires continuous increase (e.g. the transmission rate of the single-channel grows from 400G to 800G, even to 1.6T, and the capacity of fiber grows from 32T to 64T, even to >100T) as well as flexible all-optical wavelength grooming. Highly-integrated optical amplification with ultra-low noise, and high-dimensional wavelength switching technologies are required. In metro network, simplified optical network architecture and one-hop optical connection are expected, based on a simplified point-to-multipoint (P2MP) architecture, abundant wavelengths, and simplified wavelength grooming. The key technologies mentioned above will be focused in this workshop.
