Broadband fiber access is becoming increasing important in USA as major service providers are gearing to bridge the gap between world leaders in access (South Korea and Japan) and USA. This tutorial will first review fiber access technologies currently being deployed: passive optical networks (PONs) including A/B PON, E-PON and G-PON; and hybrid networks having both fiber and DSL segments. The issues of bandwidth, QoS and security will be discussed. Next, the tutorial will review possible evolution scenarios from hybrid PON / DSL networks to PON / wireless, pure PON, and next-generation PON networks. In the latter group, we will cover more powerful 10Gb/s TDM PONs and evolution toward even more powerful WDM PONs. Special attention will be paid to graceful, economically feasible evolutions scenarios.
This tutorial includes results of some six years of research conducted by my group, Photonics and Networking Research Laboratory at Stanford University. The research was conducted with a generous support of various industrial companies (including both service providers and equipment manufacturers) and government agencies (such as N F).
