Abstract

We present an experimental analysis of a self-tuning colorless ONU transmitter based on amplified self-seeded RSOAs to be exploited in WDM PON fiber networks for fronthaul. The architecture is polarization independent thanks to the exploitation of high and low PDG RSOAs and Faraday rotators. The transmission over different lengths of fiber displaying various dispersive loads is demonstrated at 10 Gb/s evidencing the chromatic dispersion impact on performance.
