Symmetry 28 Gbps/<italic>λ</italic> WDM Access Network Together With Confidential Connection Between Two Specific Clients
Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate a symmetry 28 Gbps/ $\lambda $ on-off keying (OOK) wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture together with confidential connection between two specific optical network units (ONUs). The presented PON access network also can prevent the Rayleigh backscattering (RB) induced interference noise. Here, to avoid re-deployment of optical fiber and increase cost, a ring-based fiber connection is proposed to connect each ONU for personal information link, when the data connection between two ONUs can be changed arbitrarily. Moreover, the corresponding signal performances of the presented WDM-PON system are also studied and discussed.
