Abstract
In this work, we aim to highly increase the splitting ratio of FTTH access passive optical networks (PON), by means of remote optical amplification. A remote optical coupler accommodating a remotely-pumped EDFA is proposed, and it is designed for burst mode operation in access networks, increasing the splitting ratio in a factor of × 128, in combination with local EDFA.
