“…To overcome this limitation in power budget, SuperLuminescent Diodes (SLDs) were used to demonstrate the feasibility of spectrum sliced broadband channels. Transmission experiments at 150 Mbps on 10 WDMA channels or at 50 Mbps on 16 WDMA channels have been reported in [89,90].…”

“…Directly modulated broadband light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) [6][7][8][9] or RSOAs [10,11] can be used for upstream (US) transmission. As an example, Figure 1a shows an RSOA-based ASE spectrum-sliced WDM-PON.…”

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.

“…Most high-power SLEDs that have been reported are highly polarized at the output of the SLED chip 1 . However there are many applications where a depolarized optical source is desirable such as in highly sensitive fiber gyroscopes, fiber-grating based optical sensors, and wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks (WDM-PON) using spectral slicing and injection locking techniques 2,3 . High output power, large spectral bandwidth, small spectral modulation and low degree of polarization are key features for these applications.…”
