Abstract

Coherent optical communication has been well established as the technology of choice for long haul and high bit rate communication systems since a decade ago. Recent technology advances and ongoing price erosion further open the window of opportunity for the application of coherent optical transmission technology in other domains. This paper describes in detail the capabilities, design and implementation of a coherent ultra dense WDM technology for optical metro and access networks. Its capabilities enable a number of attractive options, such as variable downstream bit rates from 150 Mbit/s up to 10 Gbit/s per user, embedded OTDR and the coexistence with legacy systems such as GPON, EPON, XGPON or RF-Video in optical distribution networks. Due to its flexibility and capacity, it is also suitable for deployments in metropolitan networks, as well as for mobile front-haul and back-haul applications.
