Abstract: | The bandwidth demanding in the access network has been increasing rapidly over the past several years. The predominant broadband access network solutions deployed today are digital subscriber line (DSL) and community antenna television (CATV) (cable TV) based networks. However, the passive optical network (PON) which is a point to multipoint access network based on optical fibers provides much higher bandwidth compared to current access networks based on copper lines. Incorporating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in a PON allows a much higher bandwidth compared to the standard PON which operates in the single wavelength mode where the one wavelength is used for upstream transmission and another different wavelength is used for downstream transmission. Moreover, WDM-PON offers the advantages in terms of capacity, low latency and service transparency. In the past five years WDM-PON technology has been developed to a mature for commercial consideration. In this thesis, we start from some fundamentals about WDM-PON and the technology challenge for WDM-PON which is to avoid the need for expensive wavelength selective optical components in the end-user optical network unit (ONU). Then we investigate Injection Locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode with narrow band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise as an approach to be a wavelength independent ONU. We study its theoretical model and compare the experimental results with the simulation results based on the theoretical model. |
