Passive optical network with analog distribution

A fiber optic network, comprising:

• a central station including first optical transceiver means for transmitting analog and digital signals along an optical fiber at first and second wavelengths of light, respectively, and for receiving digital optical signals in burst mode from said fiber at a third wavelength of light;
• a first optical networking unit coupled to an optical fiber including second optical transceiver means for transmitting digital optical signals to said central station in burst mode and first optical means for resolving the analog and digital signals from the central station, said optical means comprising optical components mounted via a radiation curable adhesive on a substrate at least a portion of which is transparent to the radiation;
• a second optical networking unit coupled to an optical fiber including third optical transceiver means for transmitting digital optical signals to said central station in burst mode at said third wavelength of light and second optical means for resolving the analog and digital signals from the central station, said optical means comprising optical components mounted via a radiation curable adhesive on a substrate at least a portion of which is transparent to the radiation;
• wherein said first and second optical networking units burst transmit said digital optical signals at said third wavelength of light on a time division multiple access basis;
• and
• a passive optical network node, coupled to plural optical fibers and configured between said central station and said first and second optical networking units, for directing said wavelengths of light between said central station and said optical networking units.
