Abstract
We demonstrate that a combination of coarse wavelength division multip lexing, time division multiplexing and subcarrier multiple access can be used to provide broadband service over a 16-way split, single-fiber passive optical network. We provide an aggregate bit rate of 622 Mb/s outbound and 48 Mb/s return in our system, with power margins of at l east 9.4 dB in excess of specifications.
