We demonstrate concepts and results of a field trial for a flexible-rate passive optical network
(FLCS-PON), which delivers bitrates up to 100 Gbit/s and allows for adaptations in the …

This paper discusses whether scaling current time-division-multiplexed passive optical
network technology based on intensity modulation with direct detection with on–off-keying to …

This paper reviews the status and way forward for PON standardization. Building upon the
huge success of G-PON, and its evolution to XG-PON, the industry is busy in developing the …

To meet rapidly growing customer-traffic demands, passive optical networks (PONs) have
been widely applied in optical access networks. However, one common imperfection of the …

We completed world's first field trial of FLCS-PON, which delivers bitrates up to 100 Gbit/s
and allows for flexible line and code rate to match users' channel conditions and optimize …

This paper provides an overview of transceiver technologies to be used for current and next-
generation passive optical networks (PONs). The uninterrupted scaling of PONs to higher …

FLCS-PON is a concept of a flexible passive optical network (PON), where the modulation
and coding parameters of the downstream signal, consisting of modulation order, code rate …

We investigated modulation schemes for realizing flexible line-rate PON. The flexibility can
be used to optimize PON resource usage. We considered cases based on experimental …

In this paper, we employ artificial neural networks (ANNs) to optimize joint probabilistic
shaping (PS) and geometric shaping (GS) for a realistic 50G IM/DD passive optical network …

To cope with the ever increasing data traffic demands in modern data centers, new
approaches and technologies must be explored. Short range optical data links play a key …
