Abstract

This paper presents a long-reach orthogonal frequency division multiplexing wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM WDM-PON), a system capable of delivering 100 Gb/s of data downstream and 2 Gb/s of data upstream on a single wavelength. The optical sources for downstream data and upstream data are a continuous-wave laser at a central office and a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) at each optical network unit.
