All‐optical virtual private network in passive optical networks

Laser & Photonics Reviews, 2008
AbstractWe review recent progress on all‐optical virtual‐private‐network (VPN) schemes in passive optical networks (PONs). PON is a promising candidate in future access areas to provide broadband services with low cost. With all‐optical virtual private network (VPN) function, PON can support efficient internetworking among end users with dedicated ...

Active Devices in Passive Optical Networks

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2012
Their name notwithstanding, next-generation passive optical networks will employ many active optical devices. This tutorial addresses the functionality of these devices in the domain of access networking, with a focus on amplifiers for PON extension and components for WDM-PON.

A passive surveillance scheme for passive branched optical networks

Proceedings of Optical Fiber Communication Conference (, 2002
In summary, we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a practical fibre link in-service surveillance scheme using fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) for fault identification in branched optically amplified networks without requiring any extra light source.

Passive Optical Networks

2006
The optical access is gaining more interest as the demand for higher and higher bandwidth is getting stronger. The major drivers for larger bandwidth are the increasing processing power of user terminals and development of services that require substantially larger bandwidth than available in present day access networks.

On security in gigabit passive optical networks

2015 International Workshop on Fiber Optics in Access Network (FOAN), 2015
The Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPONs) are widely deployed in Europe these days. For example in the Czech Republic, telecommunication access networks will deploy GPONs in order to fulfill a minimal transmission speed 30 Mbps which is planned in 2020. Generally, GPONs are defined by the family of recommendations ITU-T G.984.

MAC Protocols for Passive Optical Networks [PDF]

open access: possible, 1996
PONs are by their very nature shared-medium networks and there needs, therefore, to be some form of access protocol (the medium access or MAC protocol) that allows a station wishing to transmit to do so without causing any interference to other stations.

On the Capacity of WDM Passive Optical Networks

IEEE Transactions on Communications, 2011
To lower costs, WDM PONs may share the usage of wavelengths, transmitters, and receivers among ONUs, instead of dedicating the transmission between OLT and each ONU with one individual wavelength and one individual pair of transmitter and receiver.

Long Reach Passive Optical Networks

LEOS 2007 - IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society Annual Meeting Conference Proceedings, 2007
We discuss recent progress in the development of optically amplified, long reach passive optical networks, which aim to significantly reduce network complexity and cost by integrating metro and access into a single, all-optical communication system.

GMPLS-based passive optical network

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
The significance of Generalized Multi-protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) has been proven by its significant adoption in ASON. In recent years GMPLS has become the most global solution to provide intelligent optical resource configuration through not only devices that perform packet switching, but also devices that perform switching in the time ...
