Demonstration of WDM-PON Architecture with Reconfigurable Multicasting Functionality

A novel multicasting-enable WDM-PON architecture utilizing multiple-pump four-wave-mixing (FWM) scheme with configurable multicasting amount and signal is proposed. Downstream transmission of 10-Gb/s point-to-point signal and 10-Gb/s multicasting signal for 7 optical network units is successfully demonstrated.
