Recent Progress in High-speed TDM and WDM PON Technologies Beyond Gb/s

摘要

The number of FTTH subscribers in Japan has reached 5 million as of March, 2006. The dominant access technology in Japan is GE-PON, which was standardized in IEEE in June, 2004. We present optical and system technologies in GE-PON and future PON technologies utilizing higher bit-rate and WDM technologies.
