Abstract :
We experimentally evaluate the performance of Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FPLDs) injection locked by spectrum sliced ASE noise for WDM-PON. Results show that the performance of the injection locked FPLDs is significantly improved by optimizing their front-facet reflectivity, operation temperature and bias current.
