Development of GPON upstream physical-media-dependent prototypes

This paper presents three new gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) physical-media-dependent (PMD) prototypes: a burst-mode optical transmitter, an avalanche photodiode/transimpedance amplifier (APD-TIA), and a burst-mode optical receiver. With these, point-to-multipoint (P2MP) upstream transmission can be realized in a high-performance GPON at 1.25 Gb/s. Performance measurements on the new burst-mode upstream PMD modules comply with GPON uplink simulations. The laser transmitter can quickly set and stabilize the launched optical power level over a wide temperature range with better than 1-dB accuracy. A burst-mode receiver sensitivity of -32.8 dBm (BER=10/sup -10/) is measured, combined with a dynamic range of 23 dB at a fixed APD avalanche gain of 6. Full compliance is achieved with the recently approved ITU-T Recommendation G.984.2 supporting an innovative overall power-leveling mechanism.
