Abstract
Passive optical networks are the most important class of fiber access systems in the world today. This article first reviews the reasons why the PON as a general architecture is so important. We then outline in some depth the technologies used to implement this architecture, including the G-PON and E-PON systems being deployed today, and the advanced PON systems that provide the evolution path to ever higher bandwidths
