An optical PON network comprises a central office which generates N DPSK modulated optical signals, where N is an integer greater than 1, an optical coupling which connects the N signals to at least one optical fiber, a passive distribution node located remotely from the central office which has at least one input port that is coupled to the fiber and a plurality of output ports, the node being arranged to transmit a first wavelength of the N signals to at least one of its output ports, and at least one optical network unit connected through a respective optical fiber to the first output port of the passive distribution node. The passive distribution node comprises an arrayed waveguide grating which provides a passive optical connection between its input port and the first output port and which for that connection functions as a bandpass filter having a profile and bandwidth selected such that the DPSK optical signal passed to the input node is converted to an intensity modulated signal at the output port.

An optical network includes a first passive optical network optical line terminal, coupled to a first port of a first optical filter arrangement, and a second passive optical network optical line terminal, coupled to a second port of the first optical filter arrangement. An optical coupler is connected between the second passive optical network line terminal and the second port of the first optical filter arrangement. A passive optical distribution node is coupled to a third port of the first optical filter arrangement.

The invention relates to improvements in or relating to multicarrier communication and includes a method and a system for communication between an optical line terminal and a plurality of users over a single optical fibre. A portion of a down-stream optical signal is input to an optical circuit, the downstream signal comprising a plurality of subcarriers modulated at a first frequency, the portion of the downstream optical signal is processed at the optical circuit to remove the plurality of subcarriers and to change the first frequency into a second frequency. The processed portion of the downstream signal is then used for communication in the upstream direction.

A ringed optical transmission system comprises along the ring rare earth doped fiber amplifiers. The system has a gain peak with a λASE wavelength outside the λ1-λn band of the channels transmitted along the ring, the wavelength corresponding to an ASE emission peak of the amplifiers in the ring. In this manner a lasing peak forming a gain stabilization signal is produced.
