Analysis and simulation of a WDM-PON network operating at 10 Gbps

This project focuses on characterizing WDM-PON systems operating at 10 Gbps, addressing the limitations of traditional TDM-based PON networks, which typically reach up to 1 Gbps and suffer significant power loss in passive splitters. The methodology begins with an exhaustive investigation of the state-of-the-art, consulting scientific articles from databases such as IEEE and ScienceDirect. Subsequently, data collection and simulation of the behavior of advanced WDM-PON systems (10 Gbps or higher) are performed using specialized software like OptSim and OptNet. The gathered information undergoes rigorous analysis and processing using the analytical tools of the simulation software and the mathematical processing software MatLab. The final outcome of the project will be documented by drafting a scientific paper describing the findings regarding the characterization of the 10 Gbps WDM-PON system, aiming to enhance the capabilities of passive optical access networks.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>The main objective of this project is to characterize a Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) system operating at a speed of 10 Gbps.
