Real-Time 58,2Gb/s Equalization-Free NRZ Mode Burst Transmission for Upstream HS-PON and beyond with Monolithically Integrated SOA-UTC Receiver

We demonstrate the capacity of a monolithically integrated SOA-UTC photodiode to meet the HS-PON upstream burst mode sensitivity requirements at 50Gb/s (−26.5dBm and 20km achieved), and record error free performances at 58,2Gb/s. © 2021 The Author(s)
