We report on the first experimental demonstration of 100Gbit/s 3-level duobinary optical transmission enabled by in-house newly developed SiGe BiCMOS transmitter/receiver ICs. Operated in real-time, we demonstrated a 100Gbit/s data-rate over 2km SSMF without DSP.

In this work we demonstrate an automatic intent-based encryption layer selection and configuration for a multilayer network covering IP and optical utilizing an open source SDN orchestrator. Results indicate that the processing impact of a secure channel creation is negligible.
