We investigate a high capacity WDM-PON based on wavelength locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes. An error-free transmission of 1.25 Gb/s per subscriber was achieved with a flat-top passband AWG and a laser diode with low reflectivity. Then, we demonstrate a WDM-PON of 40-Gb/s capacity of 32 channels over 15 km of single mode fiber. It also shows that color-free operation within conventional C-band wavelength. The observed dispersion penalty after 30 km transmission was 0.5 dB. The demonstrated WDM-PON shows a robust transmission performance on the optical back reflection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
