Abstract:
This paper presents a novel technique capable of Rayleigh backscattering (RB) mitigation and chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation for wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON). The reduction of the interference caused by RB and CD in the uplink based on reflective electro-absorption modulator (REAM) is realized by the proposed correlative level (CL) coding. We investigate the RB-induced interferometric crosstalk for different fiber lengths. 10 Gb/s and 20 Gb/s transmissions over 70 km and 35 km fiber are demonstrated using the CL codes of dicode and modified duobinary (MD), respectively. Significant improvement in system resilience to backscattered seed light is verified for both dicode and MD coding. MD-coded signal also exhibits considerable robustness against the effects of CD.
