Centralized In-Service OTDR Testing in a CWDM Business Access Network

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper describes "virtual common space," an access architecture that uses inexpensive"coarse"wavelength-division-multiplexing (CWDM) technology to extend the advantages of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to business access applications. This new approach suggests new operations and diagnostic requirements. A wavelength-selective optical time-domain reflectometer using CWDM sources is demonstrated for such procedures. Some of the potential impairments that could arise from in-service monitoring on these systems are quantified.
