abstract = "We consider the benefits of using tunable transceivers for reducing the required number of ports in WDM/TDM Optical networks. We show that tunable transceivers can be used to efficiently {"}groom{"} subwavelength traffic and significantly reduce the number of ports compared to the fixed tuned case. We provide a new formulation for this {"}tunable grooming{"} problem and develop algorithms for designing such networks.",
