10-Gbps optical duobinary signal generated by bandwidth-limited reflective semiconductor optical amplifier in colorless optical network units and compensated by fiber Bragg grating-based equalizer in optical line terminal

Abstract. We propose a scheme of optical duobinary-modulated upstream transmission system for reflective semiconductor optical amplifier-based colorless optical network units in 10-Gbps wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON), where a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is adopted as an optical equalizer for better performance. The demodulation module is extremely simple, only needing a binary intensity modulation direct detection receiver. A better received sensitivity of −16.98  dBm at bit rate error (BER)=1.0×10−4 can be achieved at 120 km without FBG, and the BER at the sensitivity of −18.49  dBm can be up to 2.1×10−5 at the transmission distance of 160 km with FBG, which demonstrates the feasibility of our proposed scheme. Moreover, it could be a high cost-effectiveness scheme for WDM-PON in the future.
