A Simple and Color-Free WDM-Passive Optical Network Using Spectrum-Sliced Fabry-PÉrot Laser Diodes

We propose and demonstrate a simple and color-free wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) using spectrum-sliced Fabry-Perot laser diodes (F-P LDs). Due to its low front facet reflectivity (~0.1%), the F-P LD shows a broadband lasing spectrum and reduced mode partition noi...

Description
Summary:We propose and demonstrate a simple and color-free wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) using spectrum-sliced Fabry-Perot laser diodes (F-P LDs). Due to its low front facet reflectivity (~0.1%), the F-P LD shows a broadband lasing spectrum and reduced mode partition noise. By utilizing multiple peaks that are separated by the free-spectral range of the cyclic arrayed waveguide gratings, the 16-channel WDM-PON is successfully demonstrated at 155 Mb/s.
