        abstract = {A new technology that has emerged in recent years is Passive Optical Networks. Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) is experiencing great public acceptance throughout the world. Existing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) access networks has to be upgraded, to satisfy future bandwidth demands. For meeting increasing bandwidth demands in optical networks Gigabit Ethernet passive optical network GEPON is becoming technology of choice. A network architecture based on FTTH systems with GEPON (Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Networks) access is investigated. FTTH provides long reach offering Triple play services (Data, Voice, Video) and also enormous bandwidth. Here a comparative investigation and study using different types of amplifiers are presented. Black box type of optical amplifier, EDFA and EY-CDFA are used for amplification. The study is done for various line coding formats. Investigation is done using OPTSIM 5.3.},
