Abstract
The use of a fibre loop reflector, incorporating a photodiode and birefringence modulator, is reported as the basis of a potentially low-cost customer terminal in a passive optical network. The novel customer terminal could be applied in supporting downstream video distribution combined with bidirectional low-capacity services, such as telephony, and upstream customer signaling for video channel selection.
