50 km bidirectional FTTH transmission comparing different PON standards

摘要

In this paper, a bidirectional Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is proposed where WDM transmitter is used as a seeding source with wavelength of 1550 nm. The system utilizes a Travelling wave Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (TSOA) with injection current 0.15A. 50 km range FTTH architecture is demonstrated for both downstream and upstream channels. We investigated the impact of different data rates on upstream and downstream data. The BER results show that the performance of our scheme is good for 10 Gbps system for downstream transmission as it accommodates 64 ONUs. From simulation results show the BER of 9.95e-009 is reported at 15 Gbps but only in case of 32 ONUs. Similarly, in case of upstream transmission, Q-Factor of 15.04 dB is reported for 32 ONUs. So this scheme is a practical solution to meet the data rate of the optical links simultaneously in tomorrow's PON access networks.
