Abstract
We investigate the power budget of a fully coherent reflective passive optical network, based on self-coherent upstream (US) and self-homodyne downstream (DS) detection schemes. We consider, for US, both binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK) and quadrature phase-shift keyed (QPSK) at 1 GBd generated by direct modulation of a low-cost reflective semiconductor optical amplifier having 1-GHz electrical bandwidth and using simplified digital signal processing (DSP). We find that the penalty of increasing the order of US modulation format from BPSK to QPSK for higher capacity can be reduced to 1 dB by means of DS digital spectral shifting and US static postequalization.
