N2 - This paper clarifies the scalability of spectrum-sliced dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) transmission systems primarily intended for metro access applications. A theoretical analysis elucidates the tradeoff between the loss budget and the sliced bandwidth (i.e., the number of channels with assuming light sources with a fixed bandwidth). Moreover, the use of forward error correction (FEC) to expand scalability is studied. Based on the analysis, two spectrum-sliced DWDM transmission schemes are introduced. One demonstrates 1.25-Gb/s, eight channel spectrum-sliced DWDM transmission through the use of directly modulated super-luminescent diodes (SLDs), and the other confirms 10-Gb/s, eight channel spectrum-sliced DWDM transmission with the channel spacing of 200 GHz through the use of FEC.
