WDM-OIL-TDM Hybrid Passive Optical Network

In this article, the design of a hybrid Passive Optical Network (PON) WDM-OIL-TDM is presented. It is designed according to four technology principles. It delivers 160 Gbit/s on a 20GHz frequency band. In this proposal, OIL consists of a correlation of two slave lasers controlled by a master laser modulated with a Mach Zehnder. This scheme will serve several base stations in rural areas allowing them to benefit broadband ICT services. These base stations can be those of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G technologies, etc.
