Silicon Photonics for EPON Equipment in Metropolitan Area Networks
This paper describes recent progress on SiPh-based integrated optical devices for high-speed digital coherent transceivers targeting metro links. Optical fronthaul remains a sticking point in that connectivity, and we make the ase for analog radio over fiber signals and an optical access network smart edge to. Silicon photonics (SiPh) is considered an attractive technology that would enable the significant miniaturization of optical circuits and be capable of optical integration with high manufacturability. Abstract: We highlight promising developments and directions in silicon photonics for realizing cost effective WDM-PON: photonic integration for integrated WDM transceivers at the OLT and widely tunable laser technologies for achieving a high performance, colorless ONU. As the market leader in optical components for wireless networks, Source Photonics offers a comprehensive product portfolio of wireless broadband equipment.
