Large-scale WDM passive optical network based on cyclical AWG

Opt Express. 2012 Jun 18;20(13):13939-46. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.013939.

Abstract

A large scale wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. 124 bidirectional optical channels with 10-Gb/s downstream and 1.25-Gb/s upstream transmission are simultaneously distributed by a single 32*32 cyclic AWG. The effect of the extinction ratio and seeding power to BER performance are experimentally investigated. The selection of the subcarrier frequency is also analyzed by simulation.
