For applications of elastic optical network (EON), this paper proposes a sub-wavelength granu- larity optical signal transmission technique based on sub-carrier multiplexing in electrical domain with high flexibility, fine granularity and high efficiency. The digital signal processing in electrical domain can help to support flexible configurability on different sub-wavelength signals with different modulation for- mats and transmission rates. To meet the flexibility requirements from sub-wavelength signal transmis- sion in EON, this paper also proposes a based on channel estimation and frequency-domain equalization (FDE) method based on. Detailed studies focus on performance comparisons between pilot signal based FDE and training sequence based tirne-domain equalization (TIDE) and FDE methods with different equalization algorithms. Simulation results show that the pilot signal based zero-forcing FDE algorithm can obtain effective dispersion compensation and improve the transmission performance with low computation complexity. Meanwhile, taking into account the flexibility requirements from frequency slot and routing configuration in subwavelength granularity EON, this paper uses numerical simulations to study in detail the transmission performance with different sub-wavelength signal numbers, transmission distances and modulation formats. It is verified that the channel estimation and FDE method base don linearly frequency chirped pilot signal can achieve good adaptability under different EON configurations, and is one of the key technologies to be used in flexible optical transceivers and sub-wavelength signal dynamic redconfiguration.
