10 Gbit/s bidirectional transmission in 1024-way split, 110 km reach, PON system using commercial transceiver modules, super FEC and EDC

Abstract

We report error-free transmission at 10 Gbit/s over a 110 km, amplified PON using XFP and 300-pin MSA transceivers, super FEC and EDC. Bidirectional operation is implemented over a single fibre in the access network.

Fiber-to-the-Home System with Remote Repeater

“…This downstream regeneration enables the feeder fiber length and the split ratio at the SC to be increased, which in turn extends the coverage area of the PON system. This can offer cost effective broadband service delivery by removing the need for a separate metro network and connecting users directly to core nodes, similar to the long-reach PON structure reported in (Nesset et al, 2005). Our proposed concept is illustrated in Fig.…”

Bi-directional 120 km Long-reach PON Link Based on Distributed Raman Amplification

“…Long reach access networks have been proposed as a promising way to reduce the unit cost of bandwidth in fiber-tothe-premises (FTTP) solutions [1], [2]. Long-reach access is based on the idea of using a high-capacity, high-split passive optical network (PON), with a reach of ∼ 100 km, to combine optical access and metro into a single system [3].…”

“…Long-reach access is based on the idea of using a high-capacity, high-split passive optical network (PON), with a reach of ∼ 100 km, to combine optical access and metro into a single system [3]. Systems with symmetric upstream (US) and downstream (DS) data rates of 10 Gbit/s, split factors of 1024 and link lengths up to 135 km have been reported [1], [3]. These demonstrations, however, make use of advanced schemes such as FEC and EDC [1] and separate fibers and amplifiers for the US and DS signals [1], [3].…”

These demonstrations, however, make use of advanced schemes such as FEC and EDC [1] and separate fibers and amplifiers for the US and DS signals [1], [3]. We recently proposed a simple, bi-directional, 80 km PON link based on distributed Raman amplification (DRA) and nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber (NZDSF) [4].…”

Operating Penalties in Single-Fiber Operation 10-Gb/s, 1024-Way Split, 110-km Long-Reach Optical Access Networks

“…Single-fiber architectures have been suggested previously [3]. Our architecture presents an improvement by removing two erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) from the backhaul section, which is realized by reducing the optical bandwidth to 2 nm.…”
