Demonstration of Time- and Wavelength-Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Network Based on VCSEL Array

© 2016 Sil-Gu Mun et al. 9 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.16.0115.0044 We demonstrate a timeand wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network system employing a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array–based optical line terminal transceiver and a tunable bidirectional optical subassembly–based optical network terminal transceiver. A packet error–free operation is achieved after a 40 km single-mode fiber bidirectional transmission. We also discuss an arrayed waveguide grating, a photo detector array based on complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor photonics technologies, and low-cost key devices for deployment in access networks.
