Abstract :
In summary, a new WDM passive optical network (PON) architecture was shown capable of supporting 144 eight-channel WDM access PONs for a total of 1152 subscribers, each having 53-Mbit/s downstream capacity. This scalable PON architecture shares the source cost among a large number of subscribers and allows flexible capacity upgrading or provisioning
