Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a novel passive and wavelength selective remote node specifically designed to enable security countermeasure in PONs. The central office could physically isolate problem makers from the network without disrupting regular links by issuing a wavelength specific control signal to this device. With its wavelength selective nature, the countermeasure-enabled passive device is also a natural candidate to a WDM-PON remote node. To demonstrate its feasibility, a discrete version of the device is implemented. In addition to enable countermeasure capability, a new kind of PON restoration technique that employs a hybrid optical-wireless network is proposed. Finally, cost and performance considerations are discussed in an 8-channel planer lightwave circuit example.
