Abstract
Due to the continuing demand for larger bandwidth, the optical transport becoming general in the access network.
Using optical fiber technologies,, the communications infrastructure becomes powerful, providing very high speeds to
transfer a high capacity of data. Existing telecommunications infrastructures is currently widely used Passive Optical

Internet supporting a large diversity of services and next generation networks. This paper presents a design of WDM-
PON network, the simulation and analysis of transmission parameters in the Optisystem 7.0 environment for
bidirectional traffic. The simulation shows the behavior of optical fiber links when the signal passes through all the
componentss such as optical fiber, splitters, multiplexers then find a good quality of signal in all receivers. The system
performance is presented through various
ous parameters such as BER analyzer and the Eye Diagram.
