Abstract :
An optical layer solution for implementing multiple virtual private networking capabilities over a passive optical network using subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) transmission is proposed and experimentally demonstrated with 60-Mb/s data multiplexed with two radio-frequency subcarriers. The transmission of the SCM data is carried out using Fabry-Perot laser diodes. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that our technique can potentially support high data rate traffic from a large number of simultaneous virtual private networks with minimal penalty resulting from optical beat interference
