Smile OAN: A Long Reach Hybrid WDM/TDM Passive Optical Network for Next Generation Optical Access

We present a hybrid WDM/TDM PON for next generation optical access, which supports 100 km reach, 640 Gbit/s capacity and 8000 ONUs. Commercially TDM-PONs can be smoothly migrated to the proposed network. The protection performance of the Smile OAN is also characterized.
