FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF STARGATE NETWORK WITH INTEGRATION TO ETHERNET BASED PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK

The performance of a stargate network, which provides all-optical integration of ethernet based wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks (wdm pons) with metropolitan area networks, has been extensively studied in this research. this network provides transparent connections at wavelength and sub-wavelength granularity. this network is cost effective with single hop and reuses wavelengths by exploiting multiple free spectral ranges (fsrs) of arrayed waveguide grating (awg). the simulation has been tm performed in optsim and results have been shown as eye diagrams and ber plots obtained at the receiver end.
