Abstract

Network energy optimization provides benefits to the operator as the OpEx decreases due to efficient energy design on network and site level, and positively impacts Total Cost of Ownership. Using a renewable energy source on the active components of a WDM-PON system enhances these advantages in terms of reduction in carbon footprint. Reliability of a three port 100 GHz DWDM device used in WDM-passive optical network (PON) system with renewable energy source for powering the transmitters is investigated in this paper.
