TL;DR: The network architecture and the supporting technologies behind DISCUS are described, giving an overview of the concepts and methodologies that will be used to deliver the end-to-end network solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated redundancy and protection in high splitting, optically amplified, passive optical networks (SuperPONs) in terms of redundancy provision and protection mechanisms, including the important special case of dual homing and determined as to which of these options (duplication of the feeder and first distribution section, and N+1 protection of the optical amplifiers in the amplified splitter) would be required to be provided to all attached users to facilitate appropriate availability of the basic telephony service.

TL;DR: This paper is a tutorial reviewing research and development performed over the last few years to extend the reach of passive optical networks using technology such as optical amplifiers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a burst-mode optical transmitter, an avalanche photodiode/transimpedance amplifier (APD-TIA), and a burstmode optical receiver are presented for point-to-multipoint (P2MP) upstream transmission in a high-performance GPON at 1.25 Gb/s.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid DWDM-TDM optical access network that provides a route for integrating access and metro net-works into a single all-optical system is presented.
