Optimal design of 32 channels spectrum slicing WDM for optical fiber access network system

摘要

In this article, the spectrum sliced dense wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (SSDWDM- PON) has been investigated as a power efficient and cost effective solution for optical access networks. In this work an AWG demultiplexer is used to operate as slicing system. The high speed SSDWDM system has been realized and investigated for 32 channels with data rate up to 3 Gb/s using broadband ASE source (LED). The 3 Gb/s signals both non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) were demonstrated in 40 km optical fiber link with BER< 10~(-12). The results obtained here demonstrate that SS-DWDM is well suited for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network.
