Abstract :
In this paper we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new flexible PON network (FlexPON) enabling dynamic bandwidth reconfiguration using wavelength routing. The wavelength routing of data channels at 1.25 Gbit/s was demonstrated using a wavelength router based on micro-ring resonators and a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier.
