Experimental demonstrations of 30Gb/s/λ digital orthogonal filtering-multiplexed multiple channel transmissions over IMDD PON systems utilizing 10G-class optical devices.

By utilizing digital orthogonal filtering (DOF) in the digital domain, we report, for the first time, experimental demonstrations of aggregated 30.078Gb/s/λ transmissions of DOF-multiplexed spectrally-overlapped and/or frequency gapless six channels over IMDD PON systems incorporating off-the-shelf and low-cost 10G-class optical devices. Experimental results show that simple adaptive channel power loading implemented in the digital domain enables very similar transmission performances of individual channels regardless of their locations in the digital filter space. As a direct result of the interplay between the transmission system-associated negative chromatic dispersion and the intensity modulation-induced frequency chirp, negative power penalties of >0.2dB are experimentally observed for all the involved channels under various transmission system configurations. In addition, excellent performance robustness of the demonstrated systems is also obtainable for various transmission distances up to 45km.
