Abstract
We investigate the exploitation of the E-band in multi-band optical networks. A guard band of 14 THz is selected to isolate E- from C- and L-bands minimizing stimulated Raman scattering on already operating channels. Network simulations show double of supported traffic over the same infrastructure.
