Abstract
We report on the state of the art and future prospects and challenges of optical access networks. Details on a recent field demonstration of a novel tunable WDM-PON system with novel T-SFP+ modules will be presented. Furthermore, the concept of centralized wavelength control of the optical network unit wavelengths will be explained as well as different realization options of pilot-tone based communication channels. Finally, a control concept for tuning the DS-DBR laser will be shown.
