Abstract :
Summary form only given. Here we show how low-cost lasers can be used to deliver a broad selection of broadcast digital signals to multiple optical network units (ONU), for low cost. In addition, these signals are transmitted as a video overlay, using subcarrier multiplexing, with broadband digital-switched services.
