While the idea of wavelength-division multiplex passive optical network (WDM-PON) has
been around for many years, it has never been taken up in a significant way, mostly due to a …

The first family of multi-wavelength PON systems, 40-gigabit-capable capable passive
optical networks (NG-PON2), has been specified by the Telecommunication Standardization …

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 …

A novel long-reach passive optical network (PON) architecture based on hybrid dense
wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM) is presented …

A compromise between the energy consumption, at the central office (CO), and the
maximum bandwidth capacity, offered to end users of passive optical networks (PON), is …

Passive optical networks (PONs) are an important and interesting technology for broadband
access as a result of the growing demand for bandwidth over the past 10 years. An arduous …
