Abstract:
This paper presents a high performance DC-coupled 10 Gbit/s APD-based optical burst-mode receiver (BM-RX) for symmetric 10G-GPONs. The BM-RX can handle upstream bursts with a loud/soft range wider than 24.0 dB, and the measured sensitivity is -30.0 dBm at BER = 10(-3) after a start of burst settling time no longer than 51 ns. This paper also investigates, for the first time, the inter-burst guard time required for a 10 Gbit/s BM-RX with auto-reset generation, while the PON operates upstream at a high raw BER and is using FEC.
