Next-generation WDM-PON optimized architecture for FTTH network with maximal resources for high throughput

Abstract

To achieve high data rate, futuristic wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) has pursued due to capability of multiplexing individual wavelength. This paper illustrates the possibility of different data rates along with distance to solve the challenges for next-generation WDM-PON systems. It is superior to present PON design due to rapid progress in different passive components for access network. In this paper, recent progress such as 20 Gb/s (gigabits per second) to 80 Gbps. WDM-PON technology has been carried out. Due to recent development in PON systems, demonstration of 80 Gbps (10 Gbps per wavelength * 8) based WDM-PON system with simplified and optimized design for last mile is presented. The simulation results have been compared to demonstrate the effect of the results achieved. At last, better quality (Q)-factor of 3.46, low value of BER (bit error rate) i.e., 2.48 × 10−11 with reach of 80 km whereas high value of Q-factor of 22.16, eye height of 4.75 and BER of 3.61 × 10−10 has achieved successfully using WDM-PON system.
