“…The respective solutions must be able to support legacy optical distribution networks (ODN) for residential access, i.e., they must support a powersplit passive (PON) infrastructure. For green-field deployment and front-/backhaul, WDM-filtered or hybrid ODN is an option [7]. Finally, colorless operation of the end devices (Optical Network Units, ONUs) is required, to lower operational cost.…”

Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) is a very trendy concept as it promises integration of the previously separated fixed access network and the mobile network. From this novel approach telecommunication operators expect significant cost savings and performance improvements. FMC can be separated into structural convergence (regarding the infrastructure) and functional convergence (regarding the necessary functionalities required in fixed and mobile networks). The latter one goes hand-in-hand with Network Function Virtualization (NFV), where important network functions are provided by a server inside of the next generation point-of-presence (NG-POP). In this article implications on the system architecture as well as structural and functional convergence topics will be discussed.

“…It has already been used in some networks for several years, starting with small tuning range devices and moving toward full-band tuning. Some advanced applications that require tunability include wavelength-routed networks and reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, dynamic reconfiguration, and migration into the access/edge area with lower data rates provided low complexity of the chip (design, packaging, and calibration) [38,39].…”

“…Instead of a TEC, a simple heater may be used to fix the temperature of the laser chip at a certain (relatively high) temperature. Removal of the TEC also allows lowering the power dissipation to below 1 W [13]. Fig.…”

We report on the state-of-the-art and future prospects and challenges of optical access networks. These networks can be used for various different applications such as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) but also for backhauling data communications as well as for mobile back-and fronthauling purposes. While currently different, physically separated networks are used for these applications, in the future convergence to a unified network is envisioned. We will describe the challenges associated with such a network. We will also give a short overview on current standardization activities and an outlook to next-generation optical access networks.Index Terms-optical fiber networks, passive optical networks, optical transmitters, WDM networks.
