Wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network has emerged as a promising solution to support a robust and large-scale next generation optical access network. It offers high-capacity data delivery and flexible bandwidth provisioning to all subscribers, so as to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth requirements as well as the quality of service requirements of the next generation broadband access networks. The maturity and reduced cost of the WDM components available in the market are also among the major driving forces to enhance the feasibility and practicality of commercial deployment. In this chapter, the author will provide a comprehensive discussion on the basic principles and network architectures for WDM-PONs, as well as their various enabling technologies.

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.


The backbone of modern telecommunication industry comprises of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) framework. It is imagined that our reality will turn out to be progressively interconnected with mobile communications empowering us to play out an expanding scope of tasks. Future wireless networks will require optical network antenna base examinations with adequate data transmission to give singular clients a bigger transfer speed. It is normal that high capacity networks will utilize Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to build the complete transfer speed transmitted over the optical access network. A WDM framework transmits data by multiplexing number of free data conveying wavelengths on a single fiber and de-multiplexing at the receiver. The paper describes the Multiplexers, De-multiplexers, current progress of WDM and the algorithms of wavelength in WDM network. WDM includes transmission of no. of signs having distinctive wavelengths in parallel on a single optical fiber. Wavelength Division Multiplexed switching networks are critical for the future transport networks

New generation of optical nodes in dense wavelength division multiplexed networks enables operators to improve service flexibility and make significant savings, both in operational and capital expenditures. Thus the main objective of the study is to minimize optical node resources, such as transponders, multiplexers and wavelength selective switches, needed to provide and maintain high quality dense wavelength division multiplexed network services using new generation of optical nodes. A model based on integer programming is proposed, which includes a detailed description of an optical network node. The impact on the network performance of conventional reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer technology is compared with colorless, directionless and contentionless approaches. The main focus of the presented study is the analysis of the network congestion problem arising in the context of both reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer technologies. The analysis is supported by results of numerical experiments carried out for realistic networks of different dimensions and traffic demand sets.

Abstract This paper describes an useful scheme of ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (UDWDM-PON) meant for the bidirectional transmission of analog video signals to the users in the Optical Network Unit (ONU). Each user has a dedicated wavelength which carries a group of analog video channels. This PON scheme is bidirectional with a long distance of transmission of 100 km typically over a single optical fiber. The video channels designated for a particular user in the ONU can be continuously tuned by a post-detection tunable bandpass filter. Intermodulation distortion (IMD) resulting from a mixing of analog video channels carried by a single wavelength has been calculated for a group of three video channels which lies in the range of –30 dB to –85 dB typically for a set of values of parameters used in practice. This IMD level is fairly acceptable for analog video signal transmission and reception in practice. The novelty of this scheme is that it is long reach.

AbstractMulti-tone-based wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks are considered to provide cost-effective access network solution. We analysed and revealed the transmission performance, power budget concern and the cost investigation of the multi-tone-based WDM PON. A differential phase shift keying and re-modulated return to zero on/off keying signals for downlink and uplink, respectively, are transmitted via a single-mode fibre. The transmission performance of the proposed architecture is analysed using key parameters of bit error rate and optical signal to noise ratio using different data rates and channel spacing. The simulation results are in agreement with the theoretical analysis. The power budget is calculated for both upstream and downstream data signals showing excellent system margins for any unseen losses. The proposed setup is also analysed in terms of cost to prove it the cost-effective solution for the next-generation optical access networks.

Abstract In this paper, we have proposed and analyzed a novel cost-effective ultradense wavelength division multiplexed (UDWDM) passive optical network (PON) which uses phase modulation (PM) of the optical carriers in the optical line terminal (OLT) in order to achieve inherent noise immunity in the network. In the demodulation of the optical PM signal at the optical network unit (ONU), we have proposed to use a simple injection–locked Fabry–Perot (FP) laser diode (LD) for achieving PM to intensity modulation (IM) converter which is followed by a photodiode to recover the specific channel information. A detailed analysis of PM–IM conversion in an injection–locked FPLD has been carried out and the viability of the proposed scheme has been established. The proposed UDWDM–PON which is a broadband access network is cost-effective and long reach.

Recently, metropolitan and access communication networks have markedly developed by utilizing a variety of technologies. Their bearer communication infrastructures will be mostly exploiting the optical transmission medium where wavelength division multiplexing techniques will play an important role. This contribution discusses the symmetric sharing of common optical network resources in wavelength and time domains. Wavelength-Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Networks (WDM-PON) attract considerable attention regarding the next generation of optical metropolitan and access networks. The main purpose of this contribution is presented by the analysis of possible scheduling of wavelengths for our novel hybrid network topologies considered for WDM-PON networks. This contribution briefly deploys adequate Dynamic Wavelength Allocation (DWA) algorithms for selected WDM-PON network designs with the provision of traffic protection when only passive optical components in remote nodes are utilized. The main part of this study is focused on the use of wavelength scheduling methods for selected WDM-PON network designs. For evaluation of offline and online wavelength scheduling for novel hybrid network topologies, a simulation model realized in the Matlab programming environment allows to analyze interactions between various metropolitan and access parts in the Optical Distribution Network (ODN) related to advanced WDM-PON network designs. Finally, wavelength scheduling methods are compared from a viewpoint of utilization in advanced WDM-PON networks designs.

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.
