Abstract
The ability to provide a 55Mbit/s service to 33.5million PON subscribe rs is described, using an 8-channel sequentially-pulsed 1555nm integra ted multifrequency laser distributed to 4.3million WDM PON lines throu gh five amplifier/splitter stages. The wavelength-encoded pulses were modulated ar 440Mbit/s with an InGaAsP electroabsorption modulator. an d then. after 20km transmission through singlemode fibre, they were de multiplexed with an arrayed-waveguide grating router. Error-free trans mission was achieved.
