Planar splitters are the optimal choice for passive optical networks

摘要

Passive optical networks (PONs) require wide wavelength response and benefit in performance from good port uniformity, characteristics that do not go hand-in-hand. Both requirements are met consistently and reliably with planar-waveguide splitters, expanding the futureproof assurance that PON optical access networks provide. can reduce much of the service issues related to access networks, including repeater node failure and the dependence of line quality on distance from the CO.
