Coherent Optical Burst Transport Network
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the development of coherent PONs, particularly in aspects of preamble design for burst-mode detection in upstream scenarios, the design of flexible rate PONs in downstream scenarios, and solutions for reducing hardware. Coherent Terabit Communication (CoT) is the key technology for ultra-high speed data transmission in core networks, metro networks and inter-data center communication. The passive optical network (PON) is a representative scenario of optical access networks. Along with my colleague Jonathan Homa and Jimmy Yu of the Dell'Oro Group, I recently participated in a webinar in which we discussed the roles played by Coherent Routing and Optical Transport in supporting the rapidly increasing demands placed on the IP Optical middle mile network. We proposed and investigated a high-performance, energy-efficient, and low-cost self-homodyne coherent detection transmission (SHCDT) system for the 5G access network segment assuring high capacity and light digital signal processing (DSP) at the same time, avoiding the local oscillator for.
