An upstream multi-wavelength shared PON based on tunable self-seeding Fabry-Pérot laser diode for upstream capacity upgrade and wavelength multiplexing

Opt Express. 2011 Apr 25;19(9):8000-10. doi: 10.1364/OE.19.008000.

Abstract

We proposed an Upstream Multi-Wavelength Shared (UMWS) PON architecture based on a tunable self-seeding Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) at ONU. The performances of the wavelength and power stability, side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR), tuning range for the proposed tunable self-seeding laser module at ONU are experimentally investigated. The BER is measured with direct modulation on FP-LD of 1.25 Gbps upstream data. The extensive simulations not only evaluate the enhanced performance from the upstream wavelength-sharing, but also for the first time investigate the impact of channel Switch Latency (SL) on the network performance.
