This paper is focused on the performance analysis of protection mechanisms utilized in common wavelength division multiplexing-based passive optical networks. The main aim of the proposed research is providing an option of comparing different traffic protection scenarios for advanced optical network designs, evaluating their possible realizations from a viewpoint of the total optical power budget and analyzing their network availabilities with accommodation to concrete optical access infrastructures. First, a short basic classification of passive optical network architectures utilizing advanced wavelength division multiplexing techniques is introduced. Second, considered presumptive protection scenarios deployed to this kind of passive optical networks involved in the performance analysis are presented. For the performance analysis, corresponding reliability diagrams, relations and formulas used for the calculation of the total network availability are prepared for any specific scenario. In addition, the optical power budget is considered and subsequently evaluated for each protection scheme. For evaluating possible migration scenarios related to considered protection schemes and for comparing protection possibilities of various passive optical networks, a realization of the appropriate simulation tool must be executed. The simulation program utilizes specific parameters of particular optical components utilized in a selected protection scheme and presents its resultant network availability. Values of considered specific parameters can be changed according to the well-known data resources or specific network operator’s data. Subsequently, relevant simulation results obtained by the Network Availability Evaluator that can provide insights into relationships between a number of protection schemes are used for the performance analysis. Finally, an evaluation of the total network availability for considered traffic protection scenarios utilized in passive optical networks with advanced wavelength division multiplexing is included.

We demonstrate the design and simulation of a long range four-channel wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM-PON) operating at 40 Gb/s (4 × 10 Gb/s) in downstream transmission for undersea wireless optical communication. The proposed model consists of two separate subsections between the optical transmitter and receiver. The first subsection consists of the central office and 50 km long feeder fiber for transmitting the optical signal from a distant base station to the 1 × 4 optical demultiplexer located at the sea shore. The second subsection comprises 500 m distributed fiber from the 1 × 4 optical demultiplexer to the terminal point placed at the bottom of the sea and 15–20 m optical wireless channel inside sea water. Simulation results confirmed successful transmission of optical signals from the 50 km distant optical transmitter to the optical receiver located maximum 15 m inside the sea water with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼20.96 dB, bit error rate of ∼1.55 × 10 ⁻⁸ , and quality factor of ∼5.584. The eye diagram at the receiving end also exemplifies quality downstream data transmission at a rate of 10 Gb/s per channel. In addition, we compare the simulation results of the four-channel 40 Gb/s WDM-PON system with a four-channel WDM-PON system operating at 4 Gb/s (4 × 1 Gb/s). Simulation results confirm maximum reach of 17.5 m inside sea water at a cost of significant reduction in data rate. Furthermore, we analyze the system availability of the proposed WDM-PONs and find convincing results for high-speed secured data transmission under water.

Signal remodulation mechanism is a promising cost-effective choice for future optical access networks. This paper investigates the scheme of the phase modulator to remodulate upstream data in the bidirectional WDM PON and TWDM PON system. The simulation results of downstream is carried out using two data formats such as RZ and NRZ at varying lengths of single mode fibers in this scheme. In addition, the upstream transmission compares different remodulators such as Phase modulator, Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) and Electroabsorption modulator. By analyzing the eye diagram and Q-value, the performance of upstream and downstream transmission is obtained. It is observed that the PM remodulation TWDM-PON with NRZ modulation format has better performance, which is a rational solution for NG-PON2 cost-effectiveness.

We propose a perfectly square lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which shows high birefringence and negative dispersion. To set up high asymmetry in the core, dual line imperfection is considered where the fill fraction ratio and defect air hole diameter exhibit significant impact on dispersion and birefringence. Numerical analyses of guiding properties of the proposed PCF are done using finite element method with perfectly matched layer boundary condition from 1.2 to 1.8 μm wavelength. The optimized square lattice PCF presents high birefringence of 2.48 × 10 −2 and dispersion of −777.66 (ps/nm.km) at 1.55 μm wavelength. In addition, the proposed PCF offers ultra-low confinement and insertion loss at 1.55 μm wavelength. Moreover, −0.45 (ps/nm 2 .km) dispersion slope and 0.0045 nm −1 relative dispersion slope are observed at 1.55 μm wavelength. Additionally, the proposed PCF maintains dispersion and birefringence variation of ±30 (ps/ nm.km) and ±0.00001 between 1.5 and 1.6 μm wavelength ranges, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed PCF shows high quality factor and low bit error rate at 10 dBm input power. We believe the proposed square lattice PCF can be deployed in wavelength division multiplexing based optical fiber transmission system for wide-band dispersion compensation.

The steady increase in the demand for broadband services and the consequent increase in the volume of generated traffic in our communication networks have motivated the need to implement next generation networks in our territories. Optical Fibre cable is used as media to design long/short network and it supports high bandwidth in Gigabits per second speed. Earlier OFC is used to connect the long distance places and called Optical Transport Network and presently used even in local/Access network called Optical Access Network. In present environment data to be transmitted is so high due to growth in internet. Successful transmission of such a huge bandwidth is big challenging job for long distance network designer. All customers require the QOS and they are interested to make SLA for their service to be obtained from Service provider. ISP should design their network to support the customer requirement suitably otherwise ISP cannot survive in this competitive environment. This paper aims to explain the design and planning of a passive optical network based fiber to the home architecture. The main idea of this paper is to build a fabricated environment that allows us to analyse the depth on FTTx networks and decide which is the most preferable option for this environment. Finally, the simulation software that meets the design requirements will be chosen, the design of passive optical network will be made and the results justify that the network is more viable and can be implemented in a real time.

At present Optical fibre cable is used as media to design long/short network and it supports high bandwidth in Gigabits per second speed. Earlier OFC is used to connect the long distance places and called Optical transport network and presently used even in local/Access network called Optical Access network. In present environment data to be transmitted is so high due to growth in internet. Successful transmission of such a huge bandwidth is big challenging job for long distance network designer. This paper aims to explain the design and planning of a Passive Optical Network (PON) based wireless fibre to the Home architecture. The purpose is to show the behaviour of links of optical fibre when the signal goes through all the elements such as optical fibre, splitters, multiplexers and the goal is to find a good quality of signal in all receivers. The final goal pursued with this paper is to evaluate the performance of the whole system. The steady increase in the demand for broadband services and the consequent increase in the volume of generated traffic in our communication networks have motivated the need to implement next generation access networks in our territories. To develop multimedia telecommunication networks as an infrastructure, it is necessary to install highly reliable optical fibre cable network architecture like PON based fibre to the Home Network. In a point-to-multipoint architecture, PON is an appropriate architecture to provide high bandwidth for many customers. For any Internet Service Providers, the biggest challenge is to design an efficient access network like PON to ensure the QoS and maintenance of that network that includes Identification and Rectification of cable faults in that access network within short time thus enabling efficiency and reputation of ISPs. So this work deals with design and analysis of access network like PON and also the maintenance of the access network which includes Identification and Rectification of optical fibre cable faults in PON based fibre to the Home Network. The quality of this fibre infrastructure/network is monitored by Optical Time Domain Reflectometer for observing losses and fibre breaks and its efficiency is improved by Centralized Fault Detection System. The hardware implementation of the access network like PON based wireless fibre to the Home Network and the testing instruments are also considered for fault identification.

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) represent one of the most attractive access network solutions. As the demand for higher bandwidth per user is increasing and accelerating, there is an inevitable need for an evolution from the currently deployed passive optical networks (PONs) to next-generation optical access networks. Apart from meeting the bandwidth requirement, the Next Generation Access Networks must overcome the limitations of existing gigabit-class PONs i.e. low capacity, limited reach, and restricted mobility. Different architectures included in this paper for realizing the NG-OAN are based on different standards introduced by IEEE and ITUT. A brief summary of future scope has also been included.
