The purpose of this article is to propose a new configuration based on OCDMA and Fast-OFDM techniques for access network applications. A hybrid intensity modulation with direct detection, fast orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing–code division multiplexing access (IM/DD Fast-OFDM-CDMA) system is analytically and numerically evaluated for an amplifier-free access network. Therefore, system performance is analytically investigated in terms of bit error rate/Q-factor as a function of simultaneous users, fiber length and launched optical power. Firstly, the proposed analytical model includes the overlapping effect among OFDM subcarriers, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), and multiple access interference (MAI). Secondly, a simulation setup is performed, allowing four simultaneous users operating at 40 Gb/s in a passive optical network (PON) context. Furthermore, a power budget analysis is made between IM/DD Fast-OFDM-CDMA, all-optical IM/DD OFDM-CDMA (IM/DD AO-OFDM-CDMA) and OCDMA wavelength division multiplexing (OCDMA-WDM) configurations. It is shown that at 40 Gb/s and by using 2D-hybrid coding (2D-HC), the maximum achievable transmission-reach of IM/DD Fast-OFDM-CDMA is 142 km, which is 34 km and 60 km higher than those provided by the IM/DD AO-OFDM-OCDMA and OCDMA-WDM PON configurations, respectively.

Abstract Today’s access networks are in high demand to fulfill the high bandwidth requirement because of extensive improvement in high transmission rate applications for cloud computing, big data analytics, and other next-generation 5G smart applications. This exponential growth of high capacity and broadband access technologies comprise an essential trend in the development of a passive optical network (PON) access network. In this paper, 80/80 Gbps time wavelength division multiplexing PON (TWDM-PON) incorporating polarization division multiplexing (PDM) based Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and electroabsorption modulator (EAM) techniques have been proposed. The performance of the system consisting of different polarized multiplexed modulation techniques is investigated in both downstream and upstream data transmission for variable transmission distance and received optical power in terms of bit error rate (BER), eye diagrams, power budget (PB) and receiver sensitivity (RS). The results show that the 4×20/20 Gbps PDM-EAM modulated signals over 100 km fiber distance at -60 dBm RS and 70 dB PB are successfully transmitted under fiber non-linearities. The proposed TWDM-PON system provides a next-generation long-reach access network from urban to rural areas.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has gained great attention in the next generation Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON) due to its high spectrum efficiency, flexible resource allocation and natural compatibility with Digital Signal Processing (DSP)-based implementation. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a 40Gbit/s direct-detection long reach OFDM-PON system for downstream transmission over 100km standard signal mode fiber (SSMF). By using a simple Least Square (LS) method for the channel estimation, our proposed system achieves high bit rate without the need for chromatic dispersion compensation.

AbstractNowadays, bandwidth demand is enormously increasing, that causes the existing passive optical network (PON) to become the future optical access network. In this paper, next generation passive optical network 2 (NG-PON2) based, optical time division multiplexing passive optical network (OTDM-PON), wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) and time & wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (TWDM-PON) systems with 20 Gbps (8 × 2.5 Gbps) downstream and 20 Gbps (8 × 2.5 Gbps) upstream capacity for eight optical network units has been proposed. The performance has been compared by varying the input power (−6 to 27 dBm) and transmission distance (10–130 km) in terms of Q-factor and optical received power in the presence of fiber noise and non-linearities. It has been observed that TWDM-PON outperforms OTDM-PON and WDM-PON for high input power and data rate (20/20 Gbps). Also, TWDM-PON shows its superiority for long-reach transmission up to 130 km, which is a cost-effective solution for future NG-PON2 applications.

Analog fronthauling is currently promoted as a bandwidth and energy-efficient solution that can meet the requirements of the Fifth Generation (5G) vision for low latency, high data rates and energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose an analog optical fronthaul 5G architecture, fully aligned with the emerging Centralized-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) concept. The proposed architecture exploits the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technique and multicarrier intermediate-frequency-over-fiber (IFoF) signal generation per wavelength in order to satisfy the demanding needs of hotspot areas. Particularly, the fronthaul link employs photonic integrated circuit (PIC)-based WDM optical transmitters (Txs) at the baseband unit (BBU), while novel reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) cascaded in an optical bus are used at the remote radio head (RRH) site, to facilitate reconfigurable wavelength switching functionalities up to 4 wavelengths. An aggregate capacity of 96 Gb/s has been reported by exploiting two WDM links carrying multi-IF band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals at a baud rate of 0.5 Gbd with sub-carrier (SC) modulation of 64-QAM. All signals exhibited error vector magnitude (EVM) values within the acceptable 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) limits of 8%. The longest reach to place the BBU away from the hotspot was also investigated, revealing acceptable EVM performance for fiber lengths up to 4.8 km.

As a promising technology for broadband communication, Passive Optical Network (PON) has been deployed to support the communication in smart grid system. This paper theoretically analyzes the influences on Directly Modulated Laser (DML)-based PON system performance including Bit Error Rate (BER) and power budget. First, we establish the DML-based PON system model, and then the system performances are simulated under different linewidth enhancement factor, received optical power and fiber length. Simulation results show the increase in received optical power to maintain a given BER due to fiber nonlinearities. This research provides a theoretical guidance on the PON system design.

Abstract In this work, a full-duplex time and wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (TWDM-PON) system is analysed. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with m-quadrature amplitude modulation (m-QAM) is employed to improve the performance of TWDM-PON for downstream and upstream transmission. Simultaneously, multi-color (390–750 nm) laser diodes (LDs) are employed for visible light communication (VLC) using various VLC links to encourage the information rate of fiber/VLC optical network. A TWDM-PON utilizing 16-, 32- and 64-QAM OFDM with ten LDs based VLC system has been analysed for full-duplex multi-color VLC signals of the system. The impact of the LDs input current and high transmission rate in the proposed PON/VLC link has been investigated for m-QAM OFDM modulation. The results show that the 40/40 Gbps 16-, 32- and 64-QAM signals over ten 8000 m VLC links and a 50 km fiber link are successfully transmitted at the modulation input current of 9 mA under bit error rate (BER) of 3.8×10− 3. Also, the proposed system employing 16-, 32- and 64-QAM signals over a 10 km fiber and ten 10 m VLC links provide the maximum transmission rate of 120, 100 and 80 Gbps respectively. Moreover, the measured error vector magnitudes (EVMs) and calculated BER values for 16-QAM downstream and upstream signals, are well below the required FEC limit than high-order modulation formats. Further, the numerical analysis of the proposed system reveals the superiority of the proposed fiber/VLC links.
