Abstract: Various example embodiments for providing a passive optical network (PON), supporting communications between an optical line terminal (OLT) and a set of optical network units (ONUs) of a PON, are presented. The PON may be enabled based on use of an optical frequency comb (OFC), generated at the OLT and reconstructed at the ONUs for locking the OFC at the ONUs to the OFC at the OLT. The OFC may include a set of optical frequency lines used as seed lines for reconstruction of the OFC at the ONUs (e.g., the pair of OFC lines at the center of the OFC which may be used to regenerate locked OFCs at the ONUs), a set of optical frequency lines used to support downstream communications from the OLT to the ONUs, and a set of optical frequency lines used to support upstream communications from the ONUs to the OLT.

Abstract: Various example embodiments of a signal analysis capability are presented herein. The signal analysis capability may be configured to support analysis of a signal for determining the signal integrity of the signal, where the signal integrity of the signal corresponds to a set of one or more measures of the quality of an electrical signal (e.g., one or more signal integrity metrics indicative of the signal integrity of the signal). The signal analysis capability may be configured to support analysis of a signal for determining the signal integrity of the signal for various types of signals which may be communicated within various types of communication networks. The signal analysis capability may be configured to support analysis of a signal for determining the signal integrity of the signal where the signal may include various types of data traffic (e.g., live data traffic, user data traffic, test data traffic, or the like).

Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting optical communications in an optical communication system may be configured to support dual-polarization based communications within the context of a direct detection based point-to-multipoint optical network (e.g., a passive optical network (PON) based on direction detection). Various example embodiments for supporting optical communications in an optical communication system may be configured to support optical communications based on application of dual polarizations to each of one or more wavelengths within the context of a direct detection based point-to-multipoint optical network to support multiple optical channels within the direct detection based point-to-multipoint optical network (e.g., a single wavelength with two polarizations to provide two optical channels, two wavelengths each with two polarizations to provide four optical channels, three wavelengths each with two polarizations to provide six optical channels, and so forth) and, thus, support increased data carrying capacity within the direct detection based point-to-multipoint optical network.
