Coherent Technologies for Passive Optical Networks

Abstract

To date, optical access networks have been exclusively based on intensity modulation with direct detection. However, recent advances in coherent transceivers offer the potential to overcome the many limitations of these systems. This work reviews such candidate technologies for low complexity coherent optical access networks.
