Technology advances for the 2nd stage next-generation passive-optical-network (NG-PON2)

摘要

Passive optical network (PON) is widely considered as a promising technology for the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). In this talk, we will review some of the early works on the second-stage next-generation passive-optical-network (NG-PON2). Then, we will focus our attention on the time wavelength division multiplexed PON (TWDM-PON), which is believed to be a promising candidate for the early stage deployment of NG-PON2.
