Abstract
We experimentally characterize a bidirectional 2.5 Gb/s UDWDM-PON system based on Nyquist shaped DQPSK with digital signal processing in real time. The optical distribution network power budget of this system is evaluated and in coexistence of UDWDM channels with upstream TWDM-PON and RF video overlay signals, a set of optimum parameters and their impact on the network operation is driven. Additionally, we report the first field-trial of bidirectional coherent Nyquist UDWDM-PON using commercial real-time FPGA-based transceivers, coexisting with the deployed GPON, RF video overlay, and NG-PON2 technologies. A −44.5 dBm receiver sensitivity is achieved for 64 × 2.5 Gb/s DQPSK downstream channels and a 17 dB tolerance in dynamic power range of upstream channels is performed.
