This project focuses on wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) supervision using optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) for detection and localization of any fault occurred in optical distribution network. The objective is to investigate the impact of OTDR monitoring signal on the data transmission in the WDM-PON based on wavelength re-use system, where the same wavelength is assigned for both upstream and downstream to each end user. Experimental validation has been carried out to measure three different schemes, i.e. back-to-back, WDM-PON with and without OTDR connection by using 1xN and NxN arrayed waveguide gratings. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison has been made to trace out the effect of the monitoring signal which is transmitted together with the data through the implemented setup. Finally, the result has confirmed that the OTDR supervision signal does not affect the data transmission. The experiment has been carried out at Ericsson AB, Kista.
