Abstract :
We discuss the compatibility between reflective PON architectures and the recently defined TWDM-PON for NG-PON2. Focusing on the upstream, we experimentally demonstrate that, by using burst-mode coherent detection at OLT, reflective PON can achieve the specification target set for TWDM-PON, without requiring precise wavelength accuracy at ONU.
