Next-Generation Broadband Optical Access Network Technologies
Driven by ever-increasing users' demands for broadband services, worldwide
fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) rollout has recently surpassed thirty million users
and is continuing to grow at a rapid rate. To realize various FTTx
solutions, passive optical networks (PONs) have been considered as the most
promising technology. Next-generation PONs are expected to deliver new and
legacy services, both analog and digital, in a single converged conduit. One
such example is the radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology which makes use of an
unspecified spectrum to backhaul wireless signals from multiple remote
antenna ports via one trunk fiber. Technology wise, continuing advancements
in photonic ICs are poised to improve the total system cost-to-performance
ratio. Meanwhile, rapid increase in the speed of digital integrated circuits
has made advanced signal processing algorithms and capabilities applicable
to fiber optic systems. Techniques such as orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM), multi-level modulation, and forward error correction
(FEC), are increasingly applied to fiber access system to greatly enhance
the system performance while balancing the cost between silicon and
photonics. In this issue, we solicit original contributions to the
next-generation broadband optical access network technologies, systems, and
applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the
following subject categories:
* Optical access network architecture design
* Optical access network components and systems
* New PON developments and testbeds
* WDM and OFDM PON technologies
* MAC and bandwidth allocation
* RoF network architecture and MAC
* RoF components and systems
* Signal processing for new modulation formats
* Optical spectral management
* Multimode fiber technology and applications
* Performance monitoring and diagnosis
* Deployment and economic analysis
