Glossary

passive optical network: A passive optical network (PON) is a telecommunications network architecture that uses optical fibers and passive optical components to provide high-speed broadband services to end-users. In a PON system, optical signals are transmitted over a single fiber optic cable from a central office (CO) or optical line terminal (OLT) to multiple subscribers or customer premises using passive optical splitters and couplers. Key components of a passive optical network include: Optical line...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
