Abstract

Transmission capabilities of a coherent real-time UDWDM PON over deployed fibers in two testbeds (Berlin and Darmstadt, Germany) are demonstrated. Extensive coexistence tests including LTE backhauling and GPON, RF-Video, 100G and OTDR were performed. A silicon photonics-integrated CMOS laser was used for parts of the trial.
