Abstract

We present a scalable high fan-out optical network (HF-PON) architecture that supports 450+ simultaneous users and an aggregate downstream bandwidth of 100Gb/s using quadrature amplitude modulation, coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (QAM-OFDM) sub-carrier modulation scheme. Presented architecture is best suited for high-capacity bandwidth hungry applications such as in-flight entertainment networks and can be deployed in small and geographically confined areas. Simulation results show that HF-PON is able to provide up to ~195Mb/s to each user with BER kept under the FEC threshold.
