In the world of optical communications, passive optical networks (PONs) stand as a cornerstone technology, providing the backbone for today’s residential broadband access. Traditional PON systems, favoring intensity modulation and direct detection due to cost-effectiveness and simplicity, are now on the cusp of a transformative leap. With PON capabilities rapidly increasing to 50G and further, there is a palpable shift toward integrating coherent transmission technologies to meet the demand for future high-speed applications.

In this session, Jim Zou will explore the cutting-edge advancements in coherent PON technologies. He will present insights into how these developments are paving the way for the next generation of PON systems, offering a glimpse into the future of broadband access. Attendees will gain an understanding of the latest trends and solutions that are redefining the capabilities of passive optical networks.
