In this paper, a unified theory for the newly developed optical burst-mode receiver is
presented. Based on this theory, an analysis of the performance of the receiver is given both …

This paper describes the architecture and the technical challenges for the design of a large-
split and long-range Passive Optical Network (PON) intended for Fiber-To-The-Home …

The local loop is the most cost sensitive area of the telecommunications network. It is the all
important interface to the customer and as such plays a leading role in the revenue earning …

We demonstrate a spectrum-sliced wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network
with the channel spacing of 25 GHz, where even and odd channels are spectrum sliced …

We describe a WDM-based optical access network architecture for providing broadband
Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a …

Recent advances and breakthroughs achieved in optical fiber technology have led to the
advent of a new generation of fiber systems—Multiaccess Optical Fiber Networks. The huge …

The feasibility of fiber-in-the-loop (FITL) is analyzed, dividing the local loop into four
segments based on density: the urban business area, the urban residential area, suburban …

The performances of fixed-path routing in WDM networks have been studied in the previous
chapter. We present two dynamic routing algorithms based on path and neighborhood link …

The use of a fibre loop reflector, incorporating a photodiode and birefringence modulator, is
reported as the basis of a potentially low-cost customer terminal in a passive optical network …

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) have been demonstrated to be cost-attractive approach for
the deployment of Fiber-In-The-Loop systems (FITL) having POTS services capability. In the …
