Abstract

We present a novel upstream burst-mode equalization scheme based on optimized SOA cascade for 40 Gb/s TWDMPON. The power equalizer is placed at the OLT which consists of two SOAs, two circulators, an optical NOT gate, and a variable optical attenuator. The first SOA operates in the linear region which acts as a pre-amplifier to let the second SOA operate in the saturation region. The upstream burst signals are equalized through the second SOA via nonlinear amplification. From theoretical analysis, this scheme gives sufficient dynamic range suppression up to 16.7 dB without any dynamic control or signal degradation. In addition, a total power budget extension of 9.3 dB for loud packets and 26 dB for soft packets has been achieved to allow longer transmission distance and increased splitting ratio.
