OCDMA over WDM PON-solution path to gigabit-symmetric FTTH

It will be revealed that a myth of deploying low bit-rate uplink fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services while providing a high bit-rate downlink is wrong. Therefore, for the future broadband FTTH services, the focus should be on the capability to provide gigabit- or even multigigabits-per-second both in up- and downlinks, namely gigabit symmetric systems. Optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) now deserves a revisit as a powerful alternative to time-division multiple access and wavelength-division multiple (WDM) access in FTTH systems. In this paper, the authors will first highlight the OCDMA systems. The system architecture and its operation principle, code design, optical en/decoding, using a long superstructured fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG) en/decoder, and its system performance will be described. Next, an OCDMA over WDM passive optical network (PON) as a solution for the gigabit-symmetric FTTH systems will be proposed. The system architecture and the WDM interchannel crosstalk will be studied. It will be shown that by taking advantage of reflection spectrum notches of the SSFBG en/decoder, the WDM interchannel crosstalk can be suppressed and can enable OCDMA over WDM PON to simultaneously provide multigigabit-per-second up- and downlinks to a large number of users.     

Development of GPON upstream physical-media-dependent prototypes

This paper presents three new gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) physical-media-dependent (PMD) prototypes: a burst-mode optical transmitter, an avalanche photodiode/transimpedance amplifier (APD-TIA), and a burst-mode optical receiver. With these, point-to-multipoint (P2MP) upstream transmission can be realized in a high-performance GPON at 1.25 Gb/s. Performance measurements on the new burst-mode upstream PMD modules comply with GPON uplink simulations. The laser transmitter can quickly set and stabilize the launched optical power level over a wide temperature range with better than 1-dB accuracy. A burst-mode receiver sensitivity of -32.8 dBm (BER=10/sup -10/) is measured, combined with a dynamic range of 23 dB at a fixed APD avalanche gain of 6. Full compliance is achieved with the recently approved ITU-T Recommendation G.984.2 supporting an innovative overall power-leveling mechanism.     

A Burst-Mode 3R Receiver for 10-Gbit/s PON Systems With High Sensitivity, Wide Dynamic Range, and Fast Response

The burst-mode 3R receiver using monolithic ICs for 10-Gbit/s-class optical access networks is reported. In a point-to-multipoint access system like a passive optical network (PON), the receiver at the optical line terminal (OLT) must be able to handle burst-mode optical packets with significantly different powers and phases. An OLT receiver with high sensitivity with instantaneous response to burst inputs is desired for widening the accommodation area and for high efficiency in PON uplinks. Currently, the diffusion of high-speed Internet connection services represented by fiber to the home services at 1.25 Gbit/s is remarkable and the standardization of the next-generation system operating at 10 Gbit/s has started in IEEE. We first discuss the issues in the implementation of 10-Gbit/s-class PON systems, focusing on securing the accommodation area and the quality of the service comparable with those of the deployed system. Against that background, we propose target specifications for sensitivity, a dynamic range and response speed of the 10-Gbit/s-class burst-mode receiver so as to secure the power budget and the upstream efficiency comparable with those of the already-installed systems. Our burst-mode 3R receiver was designed to meet the above requirements and developed using monolithic ICs of transimpedance amplifier, limiting amplifier, and clock and data recovery circuit fabricated by using SiGe BiCMOS technologies along with a p-i-n photodiode. High sensitivity of , a wide dynamic range of over 16.5 dB, and quick response time of 75 ns were confirmed for burst inputs with extremely different powers.     

Burst-Mode Electronic Equalization for 10-Gb/s Passive Optical Networks

Using computer simulations, it is shown how burst-mode electronic equalization in the optical line termination of a passive optical network (PON) allows 10 Gb/s in the upstream direction with directly modulated distributed-feedback lasers. This allows achieving 10 Gb/s using cost-effective components at the optical network unit. Fast convergence of the equalizer coefficients is achieved during the preamble of each burst using the recursive least squares algorithm instead of the least mean squares algorithm. With a nine-tap feed-forward equalizer, two-tap decision feedback equalizer, a physical reach of 38 km and a splitting factor of 32 can be achieved in the 1.5-$mu$m window, exceeding requirements for deployed PONs.

A novel self-surviving architecture for next-generation OFDM passive optical network supporting colorless ONUs

In this paper, we propose a novel self-surviving architecture for next-generation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) passive optical network (PON) supporting colorless optical network units. The proposed scheme can protect distribution and feeder fiber simultaneously. Two different frequency bands are used in this proposed system for paratactic OFDM-PON. The disrupt signals can be restored via the fiber links of the neighboring OFDM-PON without special protecting fibers. We analytically and experimentally study the receiver sensitivity to downstream 10 Gb/s OFDM signals and upstream 2.5 Gb/s NRZ signals. The proposed architecture is designed mainly for next-generation PON systems.     

The Key Technology in Optical OFDMPON

In this paper, a novel optical access network based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is proposed. An OFDM-based passive optical network (PON) uses multicarriers to carry different information that is transmitted to different optical network units (ONUs). In this paper, system performance is analyzed for OFDM-PON with different linewidths of the lightwave source, different optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), different access distances, and different modulated formats. Colorlessness in the OFDM-PON is also analyzed. Finally, a 40 Gb/s baseband OFDM-PON with two carriers and achieve error-free performance over 25 km fiber transmission is proposed.     

Field Trial of Duplex, 10 Gbps $,times,$8-User DPSK-OCDMA System Using a Single 16$,times,$ 16 Multi-Port Encoder/Decoder and 16-Level Phase-Shifted SSFBG Encoder/Decoders

An optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) over wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system could be one promising solution to the symmetric Gigabit access network with high spectral efficiency, cost effective, good flexibility and enhanced security. A cost-effective OCDMA/WDM system using a single multi-port en/decoder at an optical line terminal (OLT) and superstructured fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG) encoder/decoders at each optical network unit (ONU) in an optical network has been proposed and demonstrated. In this paper, we prepare 16-chip, 16-level phase-shifted SSFBG encoder/decoders and develop the full-asynchronous 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) interface OCDMA prototype for the first time. Field trials of duplex, fully-asynchronous, 10 Gbps$,times,$8-user DPSK-OCDMA system over 100 km using hybrid multi-port and SSFBG encoder/decoder are demonstrated.      

Study of passive optical network monitoring based on non-OTDR

Aiming at the defects of passive optical network （PON） monitoring based on optical time domain reflectometry （OTDR） technology, we research the non-OTDR monitoring technology. The coding scheme based on periodic encoder monitoring is discussed, and its limitation is analyzed. On this basis, the monitoring technology based on optical code division multiple access （OCDMA） is put forward. We analyze the feasibility of monitoring scheme based on PON of OCDMA, design a monitoring plan, and then use OptiSystem to simulate the design. The results of simulation and bit error rate （BER） analysis show that this monitoring technology can overcome the deficiencies of OTDR and distinguish the monitoring signals of different fiber branches clearly, which meets the demands for high beam split ratio of multi-user communication.     

Demonstration of a WDM/TDM hybrid PON based on a colorless frame-level reach extender

We propose a hybrid passive optical network (PON) consisting of a 2.5 Gb/s reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based 32 channel loopback wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM–PON) and a colorless OEO-based frame-level reach extender (RE). This hybrid PON is designed to support a 128-way split over a 50 km transmission distance per single wavelength channel. We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of this design through downstream and upstream packet transmission with a commercial gigabit-capable PON (GPON) product. Even if the colorless frame-level RE uses active devices at the remote node, it is still possible to increase the optical link budget through backward compatibility with existing GPON products. This design also provides wavelength conversion and an upstream burst-to-continuous mode conversion between the WDM–PON and GPON. The proposed hybrid PON can satisfy a packet loss ratio (PLR) of 10^?10 at the downstream and upstream transmission including the use of forward error correction (FEC).

The transmission of coherent optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) traffic over optical-code-based optical packet switching (OPS) network has been proposed and successfully demonstrated in experiment. Full function of the OPS node has been successfully demonstrated in the experiment with coherent OCDMA traffic. A hybrid using planar lightwave circuit and superstructured fiber Bragg grating en/decoder for packet label and OCDMA-payload encoding/decoding has been verified as well. Error-free (<10/sup -12/) transmissions have been achieved for the 10- and 40-Gb/s payload data and up to two OCDMA channels.     

Highly spectrum efficient OFDM/PDM wireless networks by usingoptical SSB modulation

Optical frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless access network using optical single-sideband modulation is proposed, which allows to deliver different wireless signals from a central station to each base station over an optical fiber network. The optical single-sideband (SSB) OFDM can achieve the highest spectrum efficiency of 0.25 b/s/Hz. A 0.25 b/s/Hz has been experimentally verified by the error-free transport of two-channel 4.98 Gb/s BPSK signal on 10 GHz wireless carrier with the frequency channel interval of 20 GHz at 1550 nm over 50 km-long standard single-mode fiber link. Furthermore, it has been also experimentally confirmed that by introducing the polarization division multiplexing (PDM), the ultimate spectrum efficiency of 0.5 b/s/Hz can be achieved by the hybrid OFDM/PDM     

Demonstration of RSOA‐Based 20 Gb/s Linear Bus WDM‐PON with Simple Optical Add‐Drop Node Structure

We demonstrate a linear bus wavelength‐reused gigabit wavelength‐division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM‐PON) with multiple optical add‐drop nodes. A commercially available reflective semiconductor optical amplifier‐based WDM‐PON has a sufficient power budget to provide multiple optical add/drop nodes in 16 WDM channels. Sixteen 1.25 Gb/s WDM channels are successfully transmitted over 20 km of single‐mode fiber with four optical add/drop multiplexers, even with 32 dB reflection and chromatic dispersion in the link.     

Full-duplex hybrid PON/RoF link with the 10 Gbit/s 16-QAM signal for alternative wired and 60 GHz millimeter-wave wireless accesses

A novel full-duplex hybrid access link with 10 Gbit/s 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) wired and wireless converged signal is proposed, which can provide PON access or RoF-based wireless access alternately with centralized lightwave source. The converged signal, consisting of the 10 Gbit/s 16-QAM baseband optical signal and two optical local oscillators (OLOs), is generated by central station and can be decomposed in different patterns at remote base station. For the wired PON access, the identical frequency OLO is used to coherently demodulate the 16-QAM signal; while for the RoF-based wireless access, the 16-QAM signal and its parallel polarized OLO are abstracted as optical millimeter wave by a polarization beam splitter; the other OLO is used as the uplink optical carrier to carry wired or wireless uplink signal. Since the three tones come from the same source, they maintain high coherency even after transmitted over fiber link. The proposed hybrid wired/wireless full-duplex fiber link suffers little from fiber chromatic dispersion. These are verified by simulations for both wired and wireless access applications.

Simple and spectrally-efficient design of high capacity hybrid WDM/TDM-PON with improved receiver sensitivity

A simple design of hybrid wavelength division multiplexed/time division multiplexed passive optical network （WDM/ TDM-PON） is demonstrated for the high capacity next generation access （NGA） network, having advantages of both WDM and TDM based PON techniques. A 10 Gbit/s differential quadrature phase shift keying （DQPSK） data signal is used at optical line terminal （OLT） for downstream, whereas a 2.5 Gbit/s inverse return-to-zero （IRZ） data signal with high extinction ratio is used for upstream signal by intensity re-modulation of downstream signal, no additional laser is used at optical network unit （ONU）. Simulation results verify that aggregated 100 Gbit/s downstream transmissions of 10 DQPSK channels and aggregated 25 Gbit/s upstream transmission of 10 IRZ channels, using spectrally-efficient 50 GHz channel spacing, can be successfully achieved over a distance of 20 km with less than 1 dB transmission power penalties and improved receiver sensitivity.
