Passive optical networks: Present status and future outlook

This invited paper discusses the present status and evolution trends for passive optical networks (PONs). A brief historical overview is provided, leading to the recent NGPON2 (T-WDM) standard. Next, the main technological contenders for the future PON generations are discussed. Emphasis is given on the WDM-PON self-seeded configuration.
