    We experimentally investigate multigranularity optical subband switching functionality between two superchannels with slight error vector magnitude penalty. One is 4×39 Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed (PDM) quadrature phase shift keying discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-spread-OFDM) superchannel with 12.5 GHz band spacing. The other is 8×29 Gb/s PDM-16-quadrature amplitude modulation Nyquist pulse shaping superchannel with 6.25 GHz band spacing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that optical switching functionality for individual band between different superchannels with multigranularity is realized.
