Abstract
A novel 25-GHz-spaced dense wavelength-division multiplexing passive optical network (DWDM-PON) is proposed to improve the utilization of wavelength resource and mitigate the Rayleigh backscattering (RB) and back-reflection effects. A colorless optical network unit (ONU) is realized by remodulating the downstream (DS) signal via a gain-saturated reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). Due to the simple interconnecting architecture at the remote node (RN), the DS and upstream (US) signals in each feed fiber (FF) are carried on different channels. Therefore, the RB and back-reflection effects are significantly reduced. The feasibility and merits of the proposed system are experimentally demonstrated with the error-free transmission of 10-Gb/s DS and 1.25-Gb/s US signals over a 25-km single-mode fiber.
