We experimentally assess multiband(MB) metro-access horseshoe with spur networks using novel SOA-based MB-Junction-node and filter-less OADM architectures, achieving >28.7dB OSNR, >60dB extinction-ratio, error-free transmission with 1.1dB (C-band) and 1.2dB (O-band) penalties at 53Gbps after 5-nodes
