We propose a novel line coding combination (Inverse RZ coding in downlink and RZ in uplink) that extends the reach of WDM Passive Optical Networks based on Reflective SOAs with no in-line ampli- fication. We achieved full downstream remodulation even when feeding the reflective SOA with power levels as low as −35 dBm, thus increasing the system power budget.

Abstract

We propose a novel line coding combination (Inverse RZ coding in downlink and RZ in uplink) that extends the reach of WDM Passive Optical Networks based on Reflective SOAs with no in-line ampli- fication. We achieved full downstream remodulation even when feeding the reflective SOA with power levels as low as −35 dBm, thus increasing the system power budget. We experimentally assessed this scheme for a fully passive, full-duplex and symmetrical 1.25 Gb/s WDM-PON over a 80 km G.652 feeder.
