“…In fact, a RSOA with fiber-to-fiber 22.8 dB gain, 3 dB ASE and 30 nm bandwidth has been demonstrated [58]. RSOA-based systems performance is actually limited by RSOA limited saturation power and chirping effect which limits the power budget [59].…”

“…In addition to the aforementioned salient features, centrally controlled universal transceivers are also achievable if use is made of reflective intensity modulators (IMs) in optical network units (ONUs) of OOFDM PONs. To achieve reflective intensity modulation-based cost-effective ONUs, the following reflective IMs may be utilised, which include, for example, reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOAs) [4], reflective electro-absorption modulators [5][6][7] and reflective Fabry-Perot lasers [8,9].…”

“…Moreover, end-to-end realtime colorless transmissions of 16-QAM-and 32-QAM-encoded OOFDM signals have also been reported in IMDD SSMF PON systems employing 1.125GHz RSOA intensity modulators (RSOA-IMs) [9,10]. To further improve the real-time colorless OOFDM transmission capacity, the use of REAM-intensity modulators (REAM-IMs) is greatly beneficial due to their intrinsic advantages such as relatively high modulation bandwidth, low driving current, reduced form factor and low power consumption [12,13]. Very recently, we have reported experimental demonstrations of REAM-IM-based colorless OOFDM-PON systems [21].…”

“…Most importantly, since ONU-side laser sources are not present, the ONU transceiver complexity is greatly simplified and consequently the overall WDM-PON installation cost is significantly reduced by a factor proportional to the total number ONUs accommodated simultaneously in the network. To achieve reflective intensity modulation-based cost-effective ONUs, the following reflective intensity modulators may be utilized, including, for example, reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOAs) [9][10][11], reflective electro-absorption modulators (REAMs) [12][13][14] and reflective Fabry-Perot lasers [15][16][17].…”
