Design of a reliable WDM-PON system with transmitter powered by a renewable energy source

Reliability in Design and new technologies in optical communications is essential as businesses and consumers expect uninterrupted service and fault free operation. This paper reviews the reliability testing that was undertaken on Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG) Filter for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer (DWDM) with channel spacing at 50GHz and 100GHz with solar energy to power the transmitters.
