            Abstract : 
A 43.6 Gb/s downstream OFDMA-PON is demonstrated using optical single-side band 64/32/16QAMOFDM signals and direct-detection receiver through 20 km SSMF. Only one photodiode/OFDM receiver is required at the ONU, thereby significantly reducing system implementation complexity and cost.
