In this paper, the authors propose a next-generation hybrid WDM/TDM optical access
network architecture called Stanford University aCCESS or SUCCESS. This architecture …

Although deployment of fiber to the home (FTTH) systems has been ongoing for over 5 years
in certain markets, the industry is still in the early phases of what is expected to be a …

The wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) is considered to
be the next evolutionary solution for a simplified and future-proofed access system that can …

Passive optical network (PON) is one of the most successful broadband access architectures
being deployed worldwide. PONs provide high capacity, increased reach, and low-power …

A WDM/TDM-PON system employing a dynamic wavelength and bandwidth-allocation
technique is proposed for future flexible optical-access networks. The system achieves high …
