Implementation of data transmission mechanism in a Bi-directional optical fiber network

Abstract Passive optical network (PON) has become the leader in delivering broadband high-speed connectivity. The paper introduces a detailed description of PON, its working principle, key features, and their potential applications. In addition, we discuss the types of PON architectures including GPON, EPON, and XG-PON with merits and demerits. Finally, we discuss the technical considerations of PONs in data transmission mechanisms, network design, and component selection. This paper further demonstrates the use of PON technology via a case study on the design and implementation of a bidirectional optical fiber network. Within this project, we went ahead to demonstrate the use of PON components including optical splitters, transmitters, receivers, and power controllers towards the development of an efficient and functional network structure. It mainly covered the results of the project since the PONs appeared to be a promising solution for obtaining high-performing and reliable broadband services.
