� Lack of crosstalk between parallel fibers
� Immunity to inductive interference
� High-quality transmission
� Low installation and operating costs
No Interference
Large capacity

Optical fiber structure
Core
• thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels
Cladding
• outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into
the core
Coating
• plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and moisture
7
Optical fiber classification
glass
• glass core – glass cladding
• lowest attenuation
• most widely used
plastic
• plastic core – plastic cladding
• highest attenuation
• pioneered for use in automotive industry
plastic-clad silica
• glass core – plastic cladding
• intermediate attenuation
8
Optical fiber types
G.651 – MMF – Multi-mode fiber
• large(r) core: 50-62.5 microns in diameter
• transmit infrared light (wavelength = 850 to 1,300 nm)
• light-emitting diodes
G.652 – SMF – Single mode fiber
• small core: 8-10 microns in diameter
• transmit laser light (wavelength = 1,200 to 1,600 nm)
• laser diodes

Total internal reflection
Concept
• light travels through the core constantly bouncing from the cladding
Distance
• a light wave can travel great distances because the cladding does not
absorb light from the core
Signal degradation
• mostly due to impurities in the glass

Hit me baby one more time
Atoms have a core with circling electrons
o What happens when a light photon bumps into an electron ?
Electron is disturbed but falls back onto it’s original level : energy is released
into a certain direction = scattering
Electron is disturbed and reaches a higher energy level : energy is lost
= absorption
ray of light
11
The world of wavelengths
Light is transported as a wave.
o The length of the wave determines the type of light (infrared, ultraviolet, …)

PON benefits
� purely passive fiber plant
• low maintenance costs and high reliability
� shares feeder fiber over multiple users
• less fibers needed, less ports needed at CO
� fiber is virtually not limiting the bandwidth
• much higher bandwidth x distance than copper networks
� fiber’s bandwidth can be further exploited by WDM or equipment
upgrade
• installed fiber infrastructure is future-proof
� PON offers bundled services over a single fiber
• triple play – voice / data / video

Upstream : same wavelength + same fiber
– Use Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
How ?
– Distance OLT – ONT has to be measured
– Timeslots are allocated according to distance
– ONTs only send upstream according to granted timeslot

ITU-T standards for GPON
� G.984.1 – GPON service requirements
• specifies line rate configurations and service capabilities
� G.984.2 – GPON physical medium
• specifies transceiver characteristics
per line rate and per ODN class
including burst overhead for each upstream line rate
� G.984.3 – GPON transmission convergence
• specifies transmission convergence protocol, physical layer OAM, ranging
mechanism
� G.984.4 – GPON ONT management control interface
• based on OMCI for BPON, taking GPONs packet mode into account
• phased approach to achieve interop (FSAN)
Alcatel-Lucent was the first GPON supplier to disclose its OMCI implementation details
56
PON
OMCI – ONT Management Control Interface
� a method to manage ONTs from the OLT
• this includes configuration, fault and performance management
� each ONT and the OLT has it’s own OMCI channel

Redundancy
� ITU-T G.984.1 specifies 3 types of redundancy between OLT and ONT
• Type A : spare fiber, no additional LTs or ONTs
• Type B : redundancy to the splitter : redundant LTs and feeder fibers to the
first splitter
• Type C: redundancy through the entire path: redundant LTs, fibers,
splitters, ONTs
** Separate geographical paths required for two feeders to avoid simultaneous fiber cuts **
59
PON Feeder Redundancy
Alcatel-Lucent currently implements partial Type B redundancy (Type B-)
• 1+1 redundant feeder fibers from the LT PON to the optical splitter
• Fiber-only protection: redundant fiber can be used in case the other one
fails
** Separate geographical paths required for two feeders to avoid simultaneous fiber cuts **
• No redundant LTs - no protection against HW & SW failures on the LT
• Reduces LT capacity by 50%
