Abstract
The ITU-G.652D is the most deployed optical fiber worldwide and presents a
wide low-loss window with negligible water absorption peak. Multi-band systems exploit this characteristic to increase the transmission capacity. In this work, we show the optical degradation in terms of generalized signal-to-noise ratio, on different bands, resulting from successive channel upgrades until the complete low-loss window is occupied.
