N × N Coupler Uniformity in a CWDM Passive Star Home Network Based on Multimode Fiber: A Time-Effective Calculation Method

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical fiber is the most appropriate medium able to meet future requirements in terms of capacity and heterogeneity in the home network. The advantages of a passive star architecture associated with wavelength multiplexing have already been reported. For lower-cost issues, multimode fiber would be preferred, but some problems were raised related to poor uniformity of the N × N multimode coupler when using the usual coarse wavelength division multiplexing sources. An original time-effective method is proposed, based on both simulation and calculation. Many results are provided, giving a better understanding of the behavior of the N × N coupler when different types of sources are used, also taking into account improvement techniques such as offset launching or mode scrambling.
