Abstract
A distributing arranged waveguide Bragg gratings (WBGs) in PLC splitter chip based remote coding scheme is proposed and analyzed for passive optical network (PON) monitoring, by which the management system can identify each drop fiber link through the same reflector in the terminal of each optical network unit, even though there exist several equidistant users. The corresponding coding and capacity models are respectively established and investigated so that we can obtain a minimum number of the WBGs needed under the condition of the distributed structure. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) model related to the number of equidistant users is also developed to extend the analyses for the overall performance of the system. Simulation results show the proposed scheme is feasible and allow the monitoring of a 64 users PON with SNR range of 7.5~10.6dB. The scheme can solve some of difficulties of construction site at the lower user cost for PON system.
