Wavelength-agile optical access networking system

In this paper, we introduce our Home2015 project - wavelength-agile optical access networking system. We propose a multi-wavelength access network to offer higher system capacities for next-generation optical access. Our proposed concept of virtual PON (VPON) is introduced to realize dynamic ONU re-grouping functionality. Optical network units (ONUs) in the PON system can dynamically form different TDM-PON by using a different downlink and uplink wavelength channel. Novel photonic silicon chip integration techniques are introduced to reduce size and cost of the ONUs. We also introduce our works on live 3D hologram video transmission platform design and live 3D hologram video transmission via the 10-Gb/s wavelength-agile optical access network. Our demostration shows that our system has good transmission performances.
