A symmetric 320Gb/s capable, 100km extended reach hybrid DWDM-TDMA PON

We demonstrate a DWDM-TDMA PON with symmetric 320 Gb/s capacity shared between 16384 customers. The upstream channels were tested in burst-mode and feature low-cost tuneable lasers, monolithically integrated SOA-EAMs, burst-mode EDFAs and a 10 Gb/s burst-mode receiver.
