Abstract

We demonstrate error free transmission of a 128 Ã— 8 split and 60 km long-reach PON system over 12 hours; a loss budget of over 60-dB is achieved by combining a hybrid burst-mode optical fiber amplifier (OFA) and a commercial G-PON system. Our proposed hybrid burst-mode OFA, which consists of a gain-clamped praseodymium-doped fiber amplifier (PDFA) and a fast automatic gain controlled PDFA, successfully achieves over 27-dB gain and over 16.5-dB dynamic range.
