Abstract

We propose and demonstrate an optical network architecture with centralized light sources by using polarization multiplexing technique. The optical source which transports the downstream signal and the CW optical source which will be used in the remote Base Station are polarization multiplexed in the Central Office. After fiber transmission, both optical signals are polarization demultiplexed in the Base Station where the CW optical source is modulated by the upstream data at the Base Station.
