Abstract :
An experimental system that demonstrates the sharing of laser power among 64 and 128 subscribers is reported. In this system only two laser transmitters are employed at the `remote electronics¿ site while 600 Mbit/s signals are transmitted up and downstream between subscribers and the remote electronics sites using Ti:LiNbO3 external modulators.
