Hi John:
From me, I think you raise a very good point we should consider carefully.
Definitely, if we can re-use the existing optics but without any (or only negligible ) compromise on the long term cost, it will be wonderful things , we should
always try to go in that direction if it’s possible.
The merit of a converged industry chain is apparent .
But we should also consider carefully what we can re-use from existing LR4 optics, what’s the impact on the cost from both short term and long term view.
It will be great if more component vendors can provide more information on “What we can re-use from existing LR4 optics and what ‘s major difference besides power
budget” if we re-use the LR4 wavelength grid for NG-EPON.
It will be very helpful on our wavelength plan’s judgment .
Best regards
Dekun Liu

All,
One comment on the component technology:
Commonality with 100G Ethernet optics would be a great benefit, but the huge difference in required output powers for point-to-point and PON links makes it unlikely. It's not
possible to make 100G-LR4 optics with 7dB more power without fundamentally changing the underlying technology. From a component vendor's point of view these are completely different products even if they share the same wavelength plan. More likely the development
of high power optics for NG-EPON could enable future lower cost 100G Ethernet optics with longer reach.
Regards,
John

Frank,
Great job in putting this together. Some comments:
1.
On Slide 3: There also has been discussion that NGEPON has upstream options of 25Gb/s and 10Gb/s on one or more 25G layers:
a.
10Gb/s option has not been decided. How do we come to a decision?
[mh0622] A simple motion would suffice in this case. It is an option that has been discussed for a while, covering the reuse of by then legacy 10G-EPON optics for upstream direction.
b.
Is the 10Gb/s option on all four 25G layers? For example, would there be an option for 100G/40G?
[mh0622] My take on it would be simple: we have 10G defined today under 802.3av and only full reuse of this optics makes sense. Adding 4 x 10G upstream requires new optics altogether. At that point, it is better to
focus on 25G optics and avoid market fragmentation.
c.
How would NGEPON upstream at 25Gb/s and 10Gb/s co-exist with each other on the same 25G layer on the same PON segment? TDM or WDM? Or they don’t co-exist on the same PON segment?
[mh0622] That depends on where new 25G wavelengths are placed. If WDM coexistence with 10G-EPON upstream could be achieved, it would be beneficial, allowing first gen NG-EPON ONUs running 25x10 and 25x25 to coexist
on the network.
d.
How would NGEPON 10Gb/s upstream coexist with 10GEPON upstream? TDM or WDM? Can TDM work for this? Could the 10GEPON OLT and NGEPON OLT distinguish between 10Gb/s data from 10GEPON ONU or NGEPON ONU if they are
on same wavelength? [mh0622] If we reuse 10G-EPON upstream optics, any coexistence would have to fall under TDM. Otherwise, we’re talking about new type of 10G optics,
which defeats the purpose of reuse altogether.
2.
On Slide 3: This is confusing to me and may need further explanation for others also:
How do 25G, 50G, and 100G coexist?
- It seems “TDM” type coexistence is preferred
The four 25G layers will each be on their own wavelength pair so on the surface it seems like “WDM”.
[mh0622] it seems like a loaded question: if 25G, 50G and 100G have to coexist via WDM, they have to have different wavelengths (7 in total). Otherwise, we need TDM and share some wavelengths between 25G, 50G, and
100G devices. We had pretty involved discussion on this at the last meeting.
3.
On Slide 8: In my mind, It has not been settled that uncooled lasers cannot meet the power budget requirement or will not meet it in the future. One vendor stated that uncooled laser could achieve +6dBm output
power today under some conditions. The technology could improve further over a few years so uncooled lasers could meet the power budget. Since uncooled lasers can offer significantly lower ONU costs, the team may not want to preclude uncooled lasers for upstream
wavelength 0 by specifying a narrow wavelength range. Since there is only limited spectrum available, most likely cannot have 8 wavelengths, or even 4 wavelengths, with a wide wavelength range (~20nm) – maybe only for upstream wavelength 0 which is the most
cost-sensitive.
4.
Add call for further study on relative cost comparison for options on 25G ONU wavelength pair 0 since this could influence decisions. Specific areas:
a.
Uncooled DML vs. Cooled DML vs. Cooled EML upstream laser
b.
ONU diplexer: Focus Beam Filter versus Collimated Beam along with the optimal size of the minimum edge gap between the US wavelength and downstream wavelength. The edge gap will impact the wavelength plan and
ONU cost. Do we rule out other filter technologies (i.e. thin film) that can provide much smaller edge gaps?
5.
BTW, what does the acronym “PMD” mean?
[mh0622] PMD = Physical Medium Dependent
Thanks,
Shawn

Subject: [802.3_NGEPON] Call for Contributions on PMD issues
All,
Please see attached the “call for contributions” on PMD issues.
Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the meeting tomorrow, as there is another standard meeting happening at that
time.
But I would love to receive Email correspondence on this CFC – to either enhance it, or to
express interest in working on a topic.
It would be highly efficient if we can identify the groups of people interested on each topic, so that they can create
joint contributions that are more definitive. This is particularly true of the topics that are mainly analytic (e.g., analysis of fiber nonlinearity impacts).
Thank you,
Frank Effenberger
