Conventional Band (C-band) Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON)

Abstract

We propose a Conventional Band (C-band) Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) architecture which comprises of WDM Mux/DeMux, tunable receivers, tunable transmitter. C-band WDM-PON prototype is demonstrated/simulated to provide 20Gb/s downstream and 20Gb/s upstream bandwidth. This prototype system offers minimum loss budget of 21.3 dB and support 40Km link distance with 1:8 split ratio.
