Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a channel-reuse, bidirectional 10 Gb/s/λ, long-reach dense wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (DWDM-PON) and an optical intensity detection-based wavelength management method for tunable optical transceiver used in colorless optical network unit. A channel-reuse, full-duplex, 42 km/87 km reach without/with optical amplification, 10 Gb/s transmission on a 50 GHz DWDM grid is achieved. Transmission performance is also measured with different optical-signal-to-Rayleigh-backscattering-noise ratios (OSRBNRs) and different central wavelength shifts between upstream signal and downstream signal in the channel-reuse system. Optimal operating wavelength for the uplink optical signal and effective OSRBNR configurations taking into account AWG pass-band, wavelength instability of the downlink optical transmitter and the distance of the feeder fiber are proposed.
