24 channels colorless WDM-PON with L-band 10 Gb/s downstream and C-band 2.5 Gb/s upstream using multiple-wavelengths seeding sources based on mode-locked lasers
01 January 2010
A novel WDM-PON delivering 10-Gb/s downstream based on L-band loss-less reflective-amplified-modulator and 2.5-Gb/s upstream based on C-band injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser is experimentally demonstrated for 24 channels over 25-km, using quantum-dash mode-locked laser-based multiple-wavelengths seeding sources.
