Purely Passive Long Reach 10 GE-PON Architecture Based on Duobinary Signals and Ultra-Low Loss Optical Fiber

Abstract

We experimentally explore long reach PON architectures of 100 km with no in-field amplification using 10.3125 Gb/s duobinary downstream signals and ultra-low loss optical fiber. We demonstrate error-free transmission with split ratios up to 1x128.
