Abstract
We proposed and demonstrated a bidirectional wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM)–passive optical network (PON) employing injection-locked Fabry–Perot laser diodes (FP LDs) at both transmitting sites, and adaptive filters at both receiving sites. Injection-locked FP LDs, a particularly inexpensive option, are used to replace the conventional distributed feedback (DFB) LDs in WDM–PON. Adaptive filters are attractive because they can track the variations and compensate the nonlinear distortions. Transmission performance over 20 km of a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) was investigated. Improved performance of bit error rate (BER), better and clear eye diagram were achieved in our proposed WDM–PON.
