Embodiment approach

[0022] It should be understood at the outset that although an exemplary implementation of one or more embodiments is provided below, the disclosed systems and / or method. The invention is in no way limited to the exemplary implementations, drawings, and techniques presented below, including the exemplary designs and implementations set forth and illustrated herein, but may be protected within the scope of the appended claims along with their entirety of equivalents. make changes within the scope.

[0023] The present invention discloses systems and devices for deploying long-reach / high-splitting PONs without the use of optical amplifiers and optical regenerators. These long-distance / high-splitting-ratio PON systems include, for example, low-loss mode coupling receivers at the OLT, which can be used to increase the maximum transmission distance and / or splitting ratio of the PON. These PON systems may contain multiple different low-loss mode coupled receivers which may be base...

Abstract

An mode coupler comprising a plurality of single mode waveguides configured to transport a plurality of single mode signals, and a detector coupled to the single mode waveguides and configured to detect the single mode signals, wherein the single mode signals are substantially coupled without loss from the single mode waveguides to the detector. Also disclosed is an Passive Optical Network System comprising a mode coupler configured to couple a plurality optical signals into a plurality of modes, and a receiver coupled to the mode coupler and configured to detect the modes to obtain the optical signals, wherein the optical signals are coupled from single mode fibers.. Also disclosed is a detection method comprising receiving a plurality of single mode optical channels, coupling the single mode optical channels into a multimode channel, and detecting the optical modes corresponding to the channels in the multimode channel.
