A Surveillance Technique based on spectral analysis of SL-RSOA for PS-PON

Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a surveillance technique based on spectral analysis of self-injection locked reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (SL-RSOA) for in-service monitoring of power splitter -passive optical networks (PS-PON). The proposed technique analyzes the cavity mode frequency of upstream transmitter at the optical network unit (ONU) to distinguish each branch fiber from other fiber branches of PS-PON without utilizing any additional surveillance source at the central office (CO).

Analysis of upstream link bandwidth utilization in GPON with integrated network surveillance

“…This scheme, however, requires a separate out-of-band wavelength for network surveillance and also needs an additional FP-LD at each ONU to generate the surveillance signal. To alleviate the system cost involved in network surveillance, an in-service surveillance technique based on cavity mode analysis of self-injection locked reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (SL-RSOA) was studied [5].
