Effective accommodation for users located in long / short distance areas through PONs with dual stage splitter configuration using ALC burst-mode optical amplifier

An ALC circuit that comprises our burst-mode optical amplifier suppresses the ASE noise in the time slots assigned to short-distance area and provides effective coexistence between long and short distance areas over a single OLT.
