Abstract :
A dual-laser tuneable source based on a polymer integration platform is proposed as a low-cost light source for WDM-PON. A tunability of 40 nm along the C-band using a maximum electrical power of 82 mW was achieved. Direct modulation at 2.5 Gb/s through 20 km standard single-mode fibre and a 100 GHz-AWG has been successfully demonstrated.
