Abstract
The “Gigabit access passive optical network using wavelength division
multiplexing” project aims to implement 64-Gb/s data transmission over
20-km single-mode fiber. Per-user symmetric data rates of 1-Gb/s will be achieved
using wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture
with a 1:64 user split per PON segment. Enabling technologies being developed
within the scope of the project include tunable transceivers and athermal
50-GHz array waveguide grating multiplexer devices. The future-proof WDM architecture
will enable convergence triple-play (telephony, TV, and broadband internet)
service over existing optical infrastructure, and also facilitate cost-effective
dense wavelength division multiplexing for metro aggregation and mobile backhaul
networks.
