Abstract:In this paper, we have evaluated a bidirectional Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) employing Intensity Modulated/Direct Detection Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (IM/DD-OFDM). The proposed system employs 100 Gbps 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) downstream and 5 Gbps On-Off keying (OOK) upstream wavelengths, respectively. The proposed system is considered low-cost as non-coherent IM/DD OFDM technology and a simple Reflective Semiconductor Optical A… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
