Re: [8023-10GEPON] FW: Downstream wavelength
Title: FW: Downstream wavelength
Hi Jim, 
Perhaps it will sound strange but that is what I see in the 
slideshow:
 
No green bands whatsoever. That is why I was asking whether 
it was my PowerPoint acting up (check on two machines, the same effect). 
Concerning the remaining issues - thank You for the 
clarification. I would like to note that the explanation on the relation between 
the height of the bands and the signal power does not seem to coincide (see the 
attached screenshot from PowerPoint) with what I can see on the slide. It is 1 
Gbps digital signal band that is much higher than 10 Gbps digital signal band. 
There is no RF video band, thus I cannot fully confirm whether it is much higher 
or not. 
Regards
Marek
Hi Marek,
 
Sorry for the delay in responding - I had to be out of 
the office early this morning.
 
I showed some wavelength bands on slide 3 
that I didn't show later, brown upstream wavelengths for 1 and 10 
Gb/s (I am not addressing upstream in this comment), and 
for today's downstream (green, also not the subject of this comment, but I 
wanted to show how wide the filter transition region is today compared with what 
we are proposing).  Slide 5 and following should show blue for my proposed 
reduced broadcast (auxiliary) wavelength, and slides 5-6 show brown for the 
ideal and practical filter passbands for 1577 nm.  Slides 7-8 should show 
orange for a 1590 nm downstream wavelength.  I will try to convert to .pdf 
and resend in case there are any issues with power point.  I am having 
problems with the conversion on my computer, so it may be a few hours before I 
can send it.
 
Regarding the height of the bands, no, 
there is no significance to that.  I made them different heights to help 
distinguish one from another.  I do note, though, that a broadcast optical 
carrier must arrive at the ONT on the order of 20-25 dB higher than the data 
carrier.
 
Thanks,
jim

[8023-10GEPON] FW: Downstream wavelength
Hi Jim, 
I have two questions 
(1) are slides 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 complete ? There are some 
colours in the agenda which do not appear on the slide. Just wondering whether 
it is only my PowerPoint acting up or something is indeed missing. 
(2) what is the meaning of the height of individual 
bands on slide 3 ? If there is any, what is the scale ?
Thank You 
Marek
We request to make the attached presentation during 
the 10GEPON meeting in Dallas.  We remain concerned over the decision to 
drop the 1590 nm downstream band from the plan, for reasons shown in the 
attached.  Note that there are notes that go with most of the slides.
