Research and Design of Next-Generation Optical Networks
Chang, Wan-Jung
This book is aimed at addressing critical issues in the next-generation optical networks from Optical Access Networks (OANs), through Optical Metro Networks (OMNs), and then to Optical Core Networks (OCNs). In OANs, the current single-channel Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) architecture is no longer adequate when the traffic demands imposed on an access network increase greatly as the number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) increases.
