The FTTH is known as an optimal solution to provide broadband services like IPTV and the W-PON is a good alternative to implement the FTTH. It is firstly commercialized in Korea but not widely deployed because of it's high price. In this paper, we suggest a wavelength integration method to drop the price and enhance the utilization of the W-PON. The method makes one logical channel with multiple wavelengths when the W-PON system has to accommodate a signal of which transmission rate is greater than the rate of a single wavelength. Accordingly, the system can accommodate any signal rate. We introduce a frame structure, suggest synchronization and clock recovery methods, and finally show actual applications for the Ethernet and the G-PON.

We demonstrated the feasibility of an amplified wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture based on broadband light source (BLS) seeded optical sources and a novel bidirectional reach extender. Our bidirectional reach extender could provide an amplification of both downstream and upstream signals as well as a BLS output for the upstream WDM signal generation. An error-free 1.25 Gb/s signal transmission over a 100-km long single-mode fiber was achieved in a bidirectional WDM-PON using BLS seeded reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) sources.

A scheme to easily upgrade TDM-PON using WDM overlay is proposed. To maintain the colorless characteristics of ONU transmitters, a wavelength-conversion ONU is adopted for each TDM-PON group, where all upstream signals from regular ONUs are adjusted to an assigned wavelength. An implementation scheme for remote node and wavelength conversion node is suggested and the test results are shown.

We propose and demonstrate an efficient power-saving optical network unit (ONU) based on upstream traffic monitoring for 10-Gb/s wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM-PONs). The power-saving mode controller uses a ${\mu}$-processor and traffic monitoring modules followed by the proposed power-saving processes to operate the sleep mode ONU. The power consumption of the ONU is effectively reduced from 19.3 W to 6.4 W when no traffic from the users is detected. In addition, we design a power-saving mechanism based on a cyclic sleep mode operation to allow a connectivity check between the optical line terminal and ONU. Our calculation results show that the WDM-PON ONU reduces the power consumption by around 60% using the proposed mechanism.

This article describes developments in fiber to the home (FTTH), and introduces the technical reviews for the various types to realize FTTH. Also, we have presented the results of each EPON, GPON and WDM-PON standardization by each IEEE, ITU-T and TTA. Finally, based on the above results, we proposed the trend of FTTH service deployment strategies.

A new wavelength tunable laser source based on a self-seeded F-P LD for a WDM-PON system has been proposed in this paper. The proposed laser source has a merit of the wavelength tunable range of approximately 20 nm with very simple setup. The measured minimum relative intensity noise(RIN) was approximately -124 dB/Hz and the possibility of 10 Gb/s external modulation was showed.

In order to meet the customers'emerging demands for more bandwidth and diverse IP multimedia applications including high definition(HD) video streaming service, KT presents innovative FTTP solution using WDM-PON system. FTTP comprises an OLT inside the central office, a fiber optic distribution network including a passive remote node in the outside plant, and ONU installed on the pole or wall of customers premise. The passive remote node is located in a manhole near the subscribers and does not require any electrical power supply. And finally, UTP cable is connected from ONU to subscribers'IP appliances like PC or HGW or IP-STB. KT finished its FTTP trial service in 2004 and commercial deployment has begun since 2005. With this FTTP solution, each subscriber can enjoy high-speed internet service with speeds of up to symmetric 100 Mbit/s and various IP media applications including HD quality IP video streaming service and high quality video phone service.

This paper presents a noble optical access system using shared laser and LED light sources, which is based on WDM-PON technologies. This system adopts an external modulation of the shared laser sources for high-speed downstream and a direct modulation of the LED sources for low-speed upstream. To split or combine the transmission channels, AWG(Arrayed Wave-guide Grating) devices are used in the optical cable section. The proposed system is attractive for low cost implementation. The laser light sources can share the optical carriers in the downstream scheme. Also, in upstream, the LED sources can afford to make simple of the circuits for controlling light source and of standardization for ONU(Optical Network Unit). The feasibility of the proposed system is demonstrated by several experiments. Our results show that the system operates well at 2.SGbps for downstream and up to 622.08Mbps for upstream.
