Abstract :
We demonstrate an optical access network utilizing downstream silicon microring single-sideband modulation and upstream phase-remodulation of a centrally distributed carrier. Rayleigh-backscattering is suppressed by using the destructive port of the delay-interferometer demodulating the upstream signal.
