Abstract

In this article, the spectrum sliced dense wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (SS-DWDM-PON) has been investigated as a power efficient and cost effective solution for optical access networks. In this work an AWG demultiplexer is used to operate as slicing system. The high speed SS-DWDM system has been realized and investigated for 32 channels with data rate up to 3 Gb/s using broadband ASE source (LED). The 3 Gb/s signals both non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) were demonstrated in 40 km optical fiber link with BER < 10-12. The results obtained here demonstrate that SS-DWDM is well suited for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network.
