Abstract :
In this paper we give an overview of different approaches to reduce the influence of the interferometric crosstalk in a Passive Optical Network employing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM-PON) and a Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier-based (RSOA) transceiver in the Optical Network Unit (ONU). Key advantages and disadvantages of each method are given.
