The rising traffic demand in mobile networks is pushing the capacity need, especially in the access network. Wireless access integrated with the operator optical fiber network offers mobility and easiness of deployment. The challenge is the provision of wireless broadband capacity paired with the increasing traffic demands. The paper describes a point-to-multipoint fronthaul distribution wireless network at D-band (141 – 148.5 GHz) fed with point-to-point backhaul transport links at G-band (275 – 305 GHz), providing tens of Gb/s data rate. The system is under development in the frame of the European Commission Horizon 2020 ULTRAWAVE “Ultra capacity wireless layer beyond 100 GHz based on millimeter wave”. The D-band transmission hubs are connected to the optical core network through Gb/s class G-band links, based on a microwave photonic transmitter employing uni-traveling-carrier photodiodes (UTC-PD). A field test in real environment is planned to demonstrate the ULTRAWAVE system breakthrough.
The integration of ultra-wideband (UWB)-over- ber into passive optical network (PON) is of great interest as it bene ts the high bandwidth capability from optical network technologies and the high exibility from wireless network technologies. The later can only be done with a reasonable cost when a universal optical transmitter, which is capable of generation both UWB and PON signals, is available. Direct modulation of semiconductor laser was demonstrated to be suitable for high bit-rate PON systems, however the generation of UWB signals by this technique is still challenging. Using the chirp properties of directly modulated semiconductor lasers, UWB signals are generated. Di erent UWB signal waveforms and polarities are obtained. The received electrical spectra conform to the requirements of indoor UWB systems.
As demand for higher bandwidth is drastically increasing, bandwidth efficiency is going to be an issue in Passive Optical Networks (PONs). Moreover, network operators plan to reduce the number of central offices (COs) while extending the reach of the optical links, this enables them to reduce the deployment costs. This paper demonstrates the advantages of advanced modulation formats and a suitable configuration for the power budget enhancement of hybrid Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Time Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Networks (WDM-TDM-PONs). The proposed technique can offer higher data rate, better bandwidth efficiency, and large number of customers. Differential (Quadrature) Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) signals and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) will be considered. Simulations are performed using different modulation formats to evaluate the behavior of the proposed PON extender. Finally, Transmission of 1 Tbps WDM/TDM-OFDMPON over 60 km optical link is presented here. The simulation results, prove that 1600 users can be covered with 40 Gbps peak data rate.
This paper experimentally investigates power budget extension configurations for WDM NG-PONs. Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK), and Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) are considered. The budget enhancement techniques are based on Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA). The paper thoroughly studies power budget enhancement for the two modulation formats and shows that the proposed configurations comply with current standards such as XG-PON1.
This paper shows optical power extension techniques for 10 Gbit/s per A. channel for WDM-PON DPSK systems. The scheme is based on semiconductor optical amplifiers. We present 56.5 dB total optical power budget enhancement using our configuration for the downstream scenario. The setup is cost effective in terms of optical components. Only one DLI (Delay Line Interferometer) is used to convert DPSK signals to OOK. We present experimentally as well as through simulations that our scheme has better performance than a single SOA as a power budget extender.
Chirp-managed lasers (CML) are demonstrated as simple low-cost transmitter with high tolerance to chromatic dispersion. This manuscript proposes the use of CML as cost-effective downstream (DS) transmitters for next generation access networks. The laser chirp, which is the main drawback limiting the transmission performance of directly modulated lasers, is now used to generate differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) modulation format
by direct modulation. The network architecture using CML as downstream DPSK transmitter is proposed. Bit
error-rate measurement showed that an optical power budget of 36 dB could be obtained with direct phase-shift keying modulation ofCML which proves that the proposed solution is a strong candidate for future WDM-PONs. Budget-extended WDM-PON configuration is also demonstrated using Saturated Collision Amplifier, which is an amplification scheme that uses SOA saturation in order to maximize the output power and minimize the ASE noise and the polarization sensitivity. The extension scheme is demonstrated for four-wavelength 10 Gbit/s unidirectional downstream configuration with 60-dB maximum total optical budget for each wavelength.
