Power consumption estimation for the silicon-photonics reflective ONU conceived within the FABULOUS European project

The FABULOUS EU project proposes a solution beyond NG-PON2 based on a WDM FDM/FDMA approach, and aims at realizing a fully integrated silicon-photonics ONU. In this paper we will present preliminary power consumption evaluations of such ONU.
