TL;DR: An optical fast Fourier transform scheme is demonstrated that provides the necessary computing power to encode lower-bitrate tributaries into 10.8 and 26.0 Tbit s-1 line-rate orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) data streams and to decode them from fibre-transmitted OFDM data streams.

TL;DR: In this article, an energy-autarkic FTTx monitor with a special protocol and sophisticated hardware reduce the electrical operating power to 0.7μW, which can be delivered by an optical supply signal of only 5μW/monitor at a separate wavelength.

TL;DR: A new MAC protocol allows communication with both awake and asleep network elements and its capabilities are demonstrated in an exemplary sensor network.

TL;DR: The crosstalk of rival RoF and GPON subscribers on a RoF signal in converged RoF-WDM-TDM-GPONs with SOA as reach extender is studied to find out whether SOA nonlinear crosStalk can be mitigated by control of subscriber launch power.

TL;DR: In these networks optically-powered remote sensors and optical transmitters perform communication with the base station and relays both on power-efficient hardware and a proper network protocol.
