Abstract :
Burst-mode (BM) experiments at 5 Gbit/s on optically amplified high split passive optical networks (PONs) with extended reach are presented. The evaluated systems include a DC-coupled burst-mode receiver (BM-Rx) integrated with a BM clock data recovery (BM-CDR) circuit, an inline EDFA and two branches of BM transmitters (BM-Txs). High optical power budget combined with very short guard time and receiver settling time was achieved.
