Action Item Wavelength Plan Proposal

Configuration of optical filters in ONUs (1) Several types of optical filter configuration in ONUs are considered for coexistence. In general, they are commonly categorized into: (Case-1) combination of several WDM filters, as shown in 3av_0703_hajduczenia_2.pdf, (Case-2) combination of WDM filters and optical band-pass filters. (Case-1) (Case-2) SWPF1 SWPF2 SWPF LD LD LWPF BPF 1260～1360 1G/10G Up 1480～1500 1G Down 1550～1560 Video PD 1574～1580 10G Down PD 1625～1650 OTDR Filter name Pass l band [nm] Min. guard band [nm] Filter angle [deg] SWPF1 -1360 120 45 SWPF2 -1580 LWPF 1574- 14 Filter name Pass l band [nm] Min. guard band Filter angle [deg] SWPF -1360 120 45 BPF 1574-1580 14

The insertion loss should be a decisive factor when designing optical filters to relax the optical transceiver specifications. From this perspective, the feasibility of the case-2 filter was considered – a smaller number of filters is preferable in terms of lower insertion loss.

What is the required guard band size ? BPF specification (1) In studying the feasibility of the case2-type ONU blocking filters, we assumed the following conditions: (a) No additional filter to already deployed 1G-ONU and V-ONU, (b) Insertion loss : < 1 dB, (c) Isolation@1560 nm : > 35 dB, (d) No restriction on the module type, (e) ONU embedded filter (preferable). Isolation: 35 dB Signal band: Video 10G-PON (DS) l 1550 1560 What is the required guard band size ? System vendors investigated the required guard band for blocking video signal.

BPF specification (2) Shortest wavelength of 10G DS band and required guard band Study results on the required guard band (GB) from system vendors; 35 dB-Isolation and 40 nm-GB would be necessary for PLC-type module. 15~20 nm-GB would be feasible for BIDI-type module. (There is a report that 5 nm-GB would be theoretically feasible.) For BOSA-type module, the insertion loss would be less than 1 dB when the signal wavelength is assigned between 1574 and 1580nm. 20 nm-GB is now available for TO-CAN module. It is considered that 16 nm-GB for 1574 nm channel is feasible. Longest wavelength of 10G DS band The longest wavelength is referred to ITU-T recommendations such as G.982 and G.983, in which the signal wavelength range shall be less than 1580 nm. Isolation: 35dB Signal band : 6 nm Video 10G-PON (DS) l 1550 1560 1574 1580 Guard band: 16 nm
