Experimental Investigations of Wavelength Spacing and Colorlessness of RSOA-based ONUs in Real-time Optical OFDMA PONs
The utilisation of low-cost optical/electrical components in ONU transceivers has verified the true feasibility of mass OOFDM implementation in future access networks. Supported by 8 filed patents families (PCT/EP2012/056244, PCT/EP2011/069487,PCT/EP2011/057684, PCT/EP2010/066475,GB1208016.4,PCT/EP2010/066463,PCT/EP2010/066471, PCT/EP2010/066467), the pre-revenue Bangor spin-out company Smarterlight Limited has been established and £1.1M first-phase funding has been obtained. Since 2010 the FSAN NG-PON task group has considered OOFDM as a strong candidate for NG-PON2 (ITU-T G989.1) standards (http://www.gazettabyte.com/home/2012/4/4/fsan-close-to-choosing-the-next-generation-of-pon.html
