Successful Experimental Validation of an Integrated Burst Mode Receiver designed for 10G-GPON systems in a Packet-OADM Metro Network

A burst mode receiver designed for 10G-GPON systems is tested in a Packet-Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer metro network. Fast power dynamic range and OSNR tolerance recordings demonstrate that this receiver is compliant with network requirements. OCIS codes: (060.4259) Networks, packet-switched, (040.1345) Avalanche photodiodes (APDs);
