Abstract :
The TPON system, designed at British Telecom Research Laboratories, incorporates an opto-electronic sub-system which provides a transparent data transport system and optical interface for a passive optical network. A generic sub-system has now been designed which could be incorporated into a variety of system designs for passive optical networks. The authors describe the design and performance of the system, and the trade-offs that were necessary in its definition
