“…Due to the high number of longitudinal modes present in the long self-seeded sources, the measured RIN is quite large [19]. A short cavity (a few meters) comprises hundreds of longitudinal modes and this number increases with the length, up to hundreds of thousands for km-long cavities.…”

“…Although the burst mode is still limited by the build-up time of the long-laser, the rise time is compatible with a sleep mode for energy saving [18]. Performances in the C band reach up to 5 Gbit/s over 25 km [19]. The main limitation factor is the chromatic dispersion [6,15].…”

“…Lasing is obtained through the cavity, which extends from one highly reflective facet of the SOA up to another mirror behind a WGR filter. This way the RSOA source within the mirrors forms a long Fabry-Perot laser cavity [1,5,26,27]. The color dashed lines indicate the lasing cavities.…”

Reflective semiconductor optical amplifier fiber cavity lasers (RSOA-FCLs) are appealing, colorless, self-seeded, self-tuning and cost-efficient upstream transmitters. They are of interest for wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM-PONs) based links. In this paper, we compare RSOA-FCLs with alternative colorless sources, namely the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectrum-sliced and the externally seeded RSOAs. We compare the differences in output power, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), relative intensity noise (RIN), frequency response and transmission characteristics of these three OPEN ACCESSAppl. Sci. 2015Sci. , 5 1923 sources. It is shown that an RSOA-FCL offers a higher output power over an ASE spectrum-sliced source with SNR, RIN and frequency response characteristics halfway between an ASE spectrum-sliced and a more expensive externally seeded RSOA. The results show that the RSOA-FCL is a cost-efficient WDM-PON upstream source, borrowing simplicity and cost-efficiency from ASE spectrum slicing with characteristics that are, in many instances, good enough to perform short-haul transmission. To substantiate our statement and to quantitatively compare the potential of the three schemes, we perform data transmission experiments at 5 and 10 Gbit/s.
