We demonstrate a full-duplex DPSK SCM PON operating at 2.5Gbps/1.25Gbps bitrates, with RSOA ONU and simplified scheme. It achieves low sensitivity and is implemented with low-cost components.

Abstract-In this work, the influence of the distribution element position and the reflective optical network unit (ONU) gain in wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical networks are reported. After the theoretical and experimental analysis, it is determined that the best crosstalk-to-signal ratio is achieved if the multiplexer is placed either in the ONU or optical light termination vicinity, and the ONU gain has a new optimum value depending on the position. Also, it is demonstrated that Rayleigh backscattering is generally irrelevant in downstream transmission.Index Terms-Access networks, optical fiber communication, passive optical networks (PONs), Rayleigh scattering, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM).

A single-fiber full-duplex hybrid TDM/WDM-PON is demonstrated to operate at 2.5/1.25 Gbps rates, with RSOA ONU. It achieves high power budget (GPON compliant) at a distances higher than 20km, and serves up to 1280 users.
