Abstract
In this paper, we experimentally demonstrated a self-seeded wavelength-division-multiplexed passive-optical-network (WDM-PON) based on a high polarisation dependent gain reflective-semiconductor-optical-amplifier (RSOA). The experimental results show a possibility of implementing a WDM-PON with 16 channels of 100 GHz channel-spacing at 2.5 Gbit/s for a reach of 60 km. Considering FEC error-free transmission for all channels, an optical feeder budget of 22 dB was obtained. In the experiment, a drop fibre was experimented with different lengths up to 5 km. A total distance of 25 km was also achieved for a WDM-PON at 5 Gbit/s per channel.
