WDM-PON based on wavelength locked Fabry-Perot lasers

A WDM-PON with an 80 Gb/s capacity based on wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode.

We investigate a high capacity WDM-PON based on wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes. A color-free transmission of 2.5 Gb/s per channel is achieved with a polarization independent F-P LD and a decision threshold control circuit at the receiver. Then, we demonstrate an 80 Gb/s capacity (2.5 Gb/s x 32 channels) WDM-PON with transmission length of 20 km. We also investigate impairments in tr...

30-Gbit/s downstream capacity of cost- effective colorless WDM-PON based on injection-locked Fabry-Perot lasers

A 100 GHz spaced comb, generated by a quantum dash passively modelocked laser (QD-MLL), is used as a low-noise coherent seeding source for colorless wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDMPON) based on injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (IL-FP). Error-free downstream transmission over 25 km single-mode fiber (SMF) of 12 WDM channels at 2.5 Gbit/s with 100 GHz channel...

Evolution from TDM-PONs to Next-Generation PONs

An easy and efficient evolution method from a time-division multiplexing passive optical networks (TDM-PONs) to next-generation PONs is proposed and demonstrated. A single-type wavelength band combiner/splitter (WC) enables a simple and efficient evolution of TDM-PON maintaining the current PON infrastructure and wavelength plan. The feasibility of the proposed evolution architecture is shown b...

Broadband Light Source using Mutually Injected Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes for WDM-PON

We propose a new broadband light source (BLS) based on the mutual injection between two ARcoated F-P LDs. We demonstrate colorless operation of WDM-PON by using the proposed BLS and Manchester coded data. The passive optical network (PON) based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has been investigated for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). The WDM-PON is very attractive to provide almost unlimited...
