Abstract
The paper presents the design issues for the development of networks exploiting recent advances and trends in optical technology allowing large numbers of WDM channels The targeted topology consists of non-hierarchical all-optical rings made up by WDM PON networks and suitable optical cross-connects. The resulting benefits in terms of node consolidation, and increased capacity are analysed for a MAN/WAN network employing transmission and routing in the spectral window 1450–1650 nm and covering both residential and business customers. A single multiplexer/demultiplexer for the entire spectral range is presented and its system performance is calculated.
