  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate the use of low-cost Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LDs) injected with spectrum-sliced beams from our proposed, depolarized, high-power, continuous-wave (CW) supercontinuum (SC) for upstream transmission in a wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network. A ~500-mW CW SC with a ~130-nm bandwidth is obtained from a narrowband, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) seed of a pumped erbium fiber by nonlinear effects such as modulation instability and stimulated Raman scattering in a highly nonlinear optical fiber. Through measurements of relative intensity noise at various wavelengths, it is shown that our spectrum-sliced SC offers the same performance as the spectrum-sliced erbium ASE. Error-free 25-km upstream transmission for six WDM signals generated from the CW SC-injected FP-LDs, is readily achieved at 1.25 Gb/s
