Symmetric 80 Gbps Next Generation Passive Optical Network Stage Two NG-PON2

Abstract

In this research, a design of a symmetric 80 Gbps Passive Optical Network that meets the requirements of Next Generation Passive Optical Network Stage Two (NG-PON2) is proposed. According to The Full-Service Access Network (FSAN), The Time and Wave Length Division Multiplexing (TWDM) is chosen as the best solution to implement NG-PON2. TWDM network of NG-PON2 can be implemented in many wavelength plans to replace or co-exist with previous PON technologies. The proposed design was simulated taking into consideration the practical parameters of existing systems, the results shows that the system is reliable for implementation for 80 Gbps bitrate utilizing 8 pairs of wavelengths transmitted over 40 Km and distributed and received by 128 users with acceptable data rate.
