Channel-reuse bidirectional transmission at 10 Gb/s/lambda in long-reach DWDM-PON employing self wavelength managed tunable laser

摘要

We experimentally demonstrate a channel-reuse, bidirectional, 10 Gb/s/lambda, long-reach dense wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (DWDM-PON) and an optical beat noise-based automatic wavelength control method for a tunable laser used in a colorless optical network unit (ONU). A 42 km reach, channel-reuse, full-duplex, 10 Gb/s transmission on a 50 GHz DWDM grid is achieved. Transmission performance is also measured with different optical-signal-to-Rayleigh-backscattering-noise ratios (OSRBNRs) and different central wavelength shifts (WSs) between upstream signal and downstream signal in the channel-reuse system.
