Abstract
In this paper, a novel colorless wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM-PON) system using injection locking and electro-absorption transceiver (EAT) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. This system has advantages, high data transmission, small downlink signal effect to uplink signal and less polarization sensitivity, compared to the system using reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). Downlink signal modulates the right side carrier of the double side band signal by using injection locking. EAT functions as both photo detector in downlink signal and modulator for uplink signal, simultaneously. A possible cross absorption modulation effect from the EAT is analyzed experimentally. Bidirectional transmission of 1.25 Gbps and 622 Mbps for downlink and uplink, respectively, were verified through 23 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF).
