Low cost architecture to integrate multiple PONs to a long reach spectrum sliced WDM network

A simple and cost effective long reach spectrum sliced WDM-PON architecture for 32 users is proposed in which multiple PONs are integrated which further increase utilization of bandwidth and network sharing between the users. It is a low cost network which uses LEDs as a broadband light emitting source and further increases equipment sharing between users. The feasibility of the architecture is analyzed using BER analysis. The architecture survives up to 150 + 20 km fiber length where BER values of each received channel are ≤10−9.
