Optical access networks provide a future proof platform for a wide range of services, and
today, several operators are deploying fibre to the home (FTTH) networks. Installing an …

For building an optical access network, we propose some new hybrid WDM/TDM passive
optical network (PON) architectures that use wavelength selective switches (WSSs) at the …

Passive optical networks (PONs) are a preferred technology for implementing fiber-to-the-
home networks. Though PONs minimize power consumption compared to digital subscriber …

In this paper we propose a hybrid WDM/TDM PON architecture that utilizes a combined ring-
star based connectivity to provide shared protection against optical line terminal (OLT) …

Hybrid WDM/TDM Passive Optical Network (PON) is a promising candidate for next-
generation optical access (NGOA) solutions as it is able to offer a high splitting ratio and …

This paper proposes using power transfer matrix analysis to characterize the effects of
Rayleigh backscattering and Fresnel reflection on WDM-PON systems. The modeling of a …

The time-and wavelength-division-multiplexed (TWDM) passive optical network (PON) is a
popular choice for future access technology. However, a comprehensive understanding of …

Hybrid TDMA/WDM (TWDM) Passive Optical Network (PON) is a promising candidate for
Next-Generation PON (NG-PON) solutions. We propose end-to end reliable architectures for …

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are regarded as the preferred technology for broadband
access networks. Lately, the dependability of PONs has become crucial as end-users expect …

Abstract Different hybrid WDM/TDM PON architectures are compared in terms of flexibility,
simplicity (affecting the cost), insertion loss (affecting the reach) and security. Special …
