This paper demonstrates a wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) scheme based on novel reconfigurable optical amplifiers (ROAs). The measured switching characteristics of the ROA3 constructed with a 2 × 2 crossbar optical switch and a four-port reversible optical circulator (OC) and a conventional EDFA can meet the requirements of most network management and surveillance. The self-made four-port reversible OC’s response time is less than 2 ms, and its insertion losses are about 1 dB or less for all the transmission paths and switching states. An optimal design of ROAs is proposed and evaluated for bidirectional optical amplifier protection, in which ROA3 has an EDF length of 7.5 m long with a 1480 nm pump laser and possesses a backward or forward pumping configuration with the corresponding pump power of 200 mW or 50 mW. We verified the scheme’s feasibility through a simulation of WDM-PON systems with 40 downstream and upstream channels. This scheme enables the intelligent protection switching in practical operation scenarios for high-capacity multi-wavelength networks.

The simulation diagram of WDM-PON is proposed, utilizing DFB laser diodes as light sources, array waveguide grating as multiplexer for signals’ split and amplifiers as gain generator, respectively, to realize networking for both sending and receiving units. WDM-PON system with 128 branches service signals and transmission rate of 210Gb/s is finally simulated and the system performances are analyzed and discussed.

Passive optical network (PON) is considered as an attractive fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology. Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) PON improves the utilization of fiber bandwidth through the use of wavelength domain. A cost-effective solution in WDM PON would use the same components in each optical networking unit (ONU), which should thus be independent of the wavelength assigned by the network. Optical carriers are distributed from the head-end office to different ONUs to produce the upstream signals. Various solutions of colorless ONUs will be discussed. Although the carrier distributed WDM PONs have many attractive features, a key issue that needs to be addressed is how best to control the impairments that arise from optical beat noise induced by Rayleigh backscattering (RB). Different RB components will be analyzed and RB mitigation schemes will be presented. Finally, some novel PONs including signal remodulation PONs, long reach PONs and wireless/wired PONs will be highlighted.

AbstractWavelength-division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) is a revolutionary high-capacity and scalable broadband access network. This paper capitalizes on Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) modes to reduce modal dispersion and increase data capacity. A data rate of 25 Gbit/s is attained for a multimode fiber link by multiplexing five LG modes on five wavelengths centered at 1,550.12 nm for a distance up to 800 m.

AbstractWe have proposed and demonstrated a full-duplex wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) configuration based on reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). RSOA is used for reusing and remodulate the downlink signal in the uplink. We have used external modulation scheme for transmitting 20 Gbps data rates in two channels over a 40 km single mode fiber (SMF). The uplink and the downlink performances are checked by the bit error rate (BER) and the eye diagrams.

The passive optical network (PON) is widely used in different kinds of fields in modern society. Among the PON technologies, Wavelength-division-multiplexed Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON), which has much higher bandwidth, is the important future direction of the optical fiber access. The Single-stage WDM-PON is commonly used from Central Office (CO) to concentrated user groups in a specific area, and the applied field is limited. In this paper, a new network structure and the key technologies of WDM-PON have been studied to increase the access range and number of users, reduce costs and accelerate the realistic applications of WDM-PON technology, which has expensive devices and equipment.

The wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) incorporated with colorless optical network units (ONUs) and centralized light source is the most promising approach for next generation PON. A cost-effective architecture utilizing coherent detection for upstream (US) signal is proposed to enlarge the reach of such WDM-PON systems. Simulation results show that a symmetric 10-Gbps WDM-PON with 80km error-free transmission is realized without using any optical amplifiers.
