<p>A passive optical network (PON) component comprising a processor coupled to a plurality of receivers, the processor configured to monitor a plurality of drifting laser wavelengths and cause the drifting laser wavelengths to be tuned to a plurality of pass-bands. Also disclosed is an optical network unit (ONU) comprising a receiver, a transmitter coupled to the receiver, and a partially-tunable laser coupled to the transmitter and having a drifting laser wavelength, wherein the drifting laser wavelength is periodically tuned to one of a plurality of pass-bands. Included is a method comprising monitoring a plurality of drifting laser wavelengths associated with a plurality of pass-bands, and reconfiguring a plurality of time division multiple access (TDMA) timeslots when one of the drifting laser wavelengths migrates from one pass-band to another pass-band.</p> |
