Colorless Optical Network Unit Based on Silicon Photonic Components for WDM PON

Abstract: Abstract-We demonstrate a low-cost colorless optical network unit (ONU) utilizing silicon photonic components for wavelength division multiplexed passive-optical-networks. At the ONU, a waveguide-coupled microring works as a demultiplexer for separating the downstream signal from the centrally distributed continuous-wave (CW) light. The 10-Gb/s downstream signal is received using a waveguide-integrated germanium photodetector while the CW light is further modulated at 5 Gb/s using a silicon microring modulator… Show more

“…However, even for the all-microring-based case, the obtained BER is below the forward error correction (FEC) limit, which validates the application of microring-based endto-end BPSK link for practical usage. Given the low cost advantage of the silicon platform, the microring-based BPSK link may find application in FTTH networks which has large volume of production and the key factor for deployment is cost [17].…”

“…In particular, in the wide fiber-to-the-X applications, demultiplexers operating at two frequencies, namely wavelength diplexers, have received special attention. At present, several schemes have been proposed for multiplexing signals at two different wavelengths, such as diffraction grating couplers coupling two wavelengths to different directions [28,29], on-chip microring resonators for filtering different wavelengths [30], and duplexers based on multimode interference [31,32]. For optical devices, compactness and high integration are among the key points to be considered.…”

“…The 10G xPON standard and industry chain will be matured, and 10G xPON will become a mainstream technology for FTTx networks in the coming five years. Technology options for NG-PON2 [6] include wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)-PON [7,8], optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-PON [9], time and wavelength division multiplexing (TWDM)-PON [10], and high-speed time division multiplexing accesspassive optical network (TDMA-PON).…”
