It is 21 years since the first passive optical network (PON) was standardized as an
asynchronous transfer mode passive optical network (APON) with same optical distribution …

This paper presents a realistic description on various Passive optical network (PON)
technologies. A brief comparison between salient features of different PON technologies is …

Currently, the developed bi-directional broadband Passive Optical Networks (PONs) have a
maximum splitting factor around 32 and a range less than 20 km. Due to the expected …

For the practical implementation of wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical
networks, low-cost communication light sources are crucial. One of the possible ways to …

The paper deals with the future possibilities in the field of passive optical access networks,
especially with usage of wavelength multiplexing techniques (WDM), or its combination with …

This paper gives an overview of past and recent developments of Passive Optical Networks
(PON's). Such networks currently receive a lot of intention as a means to relieve the so …

First experimental results on a working super passive optical network (PON) lab
demonstrator are reported and evaluated. It is shown, that a cascade of 3 SOAs in upstream …

This paper is to know about the meaning of passive optical networks and its architecture. It
explains the different types of passive optical networks and its uses for the present as well as …

A wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) is an attractive
optical access technology. For the practical implementation of a WDM-PON, low-cost …

In this editorial, we first set the context for the subject matter of this special issue on passive
