Wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network based on spectrum-slicing techniques

Intra-Cavity Nonlinear Frequency Conversion with Cr3+-Colquiriite Solid-State Lasers

“…The availability of broadband optical sources is interesting in a variety of applications which ranges from wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), passive optical networks (PON) based on spectral slicing techniques (Jung et al, 1998), interferometric sensors (Wysocki et al, 1994), and biomedicine such as optical coherence tomography (Schmitt, 1999).…”

Broadband Access Networks and Services in Korea

“…Spectrum slicing using a broadband incoherent light source such as a light-emitting diode (LED) or an ASE of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) have gained great attention [17][18][19]. The broadband light sources are used as transmitter and the wavelength for each subscriber was allocated by spectrum slicing at the arrayed waveguide grating (AWG).…”

OATM/WDM Optical Access Network Using Header Decoder-Based Router for Next-Generation Communications

“…Passive optical networks (PONs) have been widely deployed as flexible, scalable optical access networks in recent years. Time division multiplexing (TDM) PONs [4], wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) PONs [5,6], optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) PONs [7,8], and TDM/WDM PONs [9] are all interesting candidates for next-generation access networks, and have been researched widely. TDM PONs, such as IEEE802.3xx GE-PON and ITU-T G.984 GPON, have been actively deployed worldwide as basic access networks that provide low cost and high reliability, through one-to-multiple point connections via a power splitter between the remote node (RN) and optical network units (ONU).…”
