Abstract: A bi-directional WDM-PON and a method for allocating a wavelength band are disclosed. In the bi-directional WDM-PON, bi-directional transceiver modules are used to transmit optical signals of different wavelengths in the upstream and downstream directions. An L-band and an S-band are used to allocate wavelength bands to the upstream and downstream optical signals so that a wavelength band interval at which the respective wavelength bands of the upstream and downstream optical signals are spaced is set between 50 nm to 150 nm.
