Using QoT-E for Open Line Controlling and Modulation Format Deployment: an Experimental Proof of Concept

We propose open line controlling and a modulation format setting based on GNPy GSNR evaluation, and test an experimental setup including an 8-span line equipped by commercial EDFAs, transporting two wavelengths from the open box Cassini. Excellent results are shown for GSNR flattening and prediction.
