Abstract

We propose a 10-Gb/s Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) scheme with upstream transmission employing Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) and Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) optical equaliser. Transmissions of 10-Gb/s non return-to-zero signals using a 1.2-GHz RSOA and FBG optical equaliser with different setups are demonstrated. Significant performance improvement and 40-km standard single mode fibre transmission are achieved using FBG optical equaliser and Remotely Pumped Erbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier (RP-EDFA), where they are used to equalise the output of the band-limited RSOA and amplify the seed light and upstream signal, respectively.
