I focus on the performance of the ESPRS in different failure situations and show how the packet loss rate is influenced by the number of node- and link-disjoint paths between a node pair, the loss probability on the paths, number of failures, the relative amount of redundancy, and the size of the packet set.

Through numerical simulation and experimental demonstration, we further present and discuss various MIMO-OFDM systems focusing on their polarization-mode dispersion resilience.

Practically available optimum component parameters are identified, based on which the AMOOFDM modems are optimized. It is shown that the optimized AMOOFDM modems enable a >70% increase in the capacity versus reach performance without compromising link loss margins, in comparison with that achieved without modem optimization. In addition, the validity of the identified optimum parameters and the feasibility of the optimized AMOOFDM modems are also statistically verified for implementation in the vast majority of installed MMF links. Statistical investigations show that the optimized AMOOFDM modems can support >50Gbits/s signal transmission over 300m in 99.5% of already installed MMF links with loss margins of >7dB.

Existing optical transmitters of TDM-PON optical network units (ONUs) are reusable by employing a wavelength-conversion node at the ONU site, which transforms the wavelength of each ONU to a predefined WDM wavelength. A specially designed optical router is needed at a remote node site; it should broadcast downstream signals to each ONU, routing upstream ONU signals to a wavelength-conversion node and passing the wavelength-converted signal to an optical line terminal. A simple but efficient remote node structure is proposed. A wavelength conversion node should be designed carefully since it repeats burst-mode signals from multiple ONUs. A 2R repeater-based wavelength conversion node is suggested.

Therefore, no in-phase and quadrature modulation onto an RF carrier is required. As a result, broadband, high-frequency, analog RF components are omitted, reducing system complexity and costs.
