Abstract

We demonstrated the ability to provide 55 Mb/s service to 33.5 million passive optical network (PON) subscribers using an 8-channel sequentially-pulsed 1555 nm integrated multifrequency laser distributed to 4.3 million WDM PON lines through five amplifier/splitter stages. The wavelength-encoded pulses were modulated at 440 Mb/s with an InGaAsP electroabsorption modulator, then after 20 km transmission through single-mode fiber, were demultiplexed with an arrayed-waveguide grating router. Error-free transmission was achieved
