Current passive optical networks (PONs)(Gigabit PON (GPON) and Ethernet PON (EPON))
will run out of bandwidth sooner or later due to the ever increasing bandwidth demand. The …

The paper presents technology of the ten-gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network–XG-PON
which in two phases of its development (XG-PON1 and XG-PON2) takes the first step …

Motivated by recent progress in next-generation PON2, or NG-PON2, standardization, this
article reviews digital signal processing technologies to further enhance NG-PON2 systems …

In this paper, the requirements for next generation passive optical network (NG-PON) and
evolution trends of PON are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the requirements for …

In order to meet the bandwidth requirements for the access network, many network
operators nowadays have been rapidly expanding their fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) service …

In this paper, key technologies, system proposals and future directions of next generation
passive optical networks stage 2 (NG-PON2) are reviewed. We first discuss the potential …

Recent research activities on WDM-PON access network architectures and related systems
technologies are reviewed. Some key issues of current interest in WDM PON are discussed …

Passive optical networks are the most important class of fiber access systems in the world
today. This article first reviews the reasons why the PON as a general architecture is so …
