Abstract
LED's have been demonstrated in several new passive optical networks ( PON) architectures which capitalize on their wide spectral emission. W e show that, due to thermal properties, LED's exhibit higher than expe cted output powers under RF subcarrier modulation and baseband packet modulation, leading to advantageous power budgets in PON applications.
