Abstract
A method of implementing wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical ne twork (WDM-PON) upstream channels based on spectral slicing with wavelength -seeded travelling-wave reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) mo dulators is described. A dense WDM comprising eight 1 nm slices, each modul ated at a data rate of 1.25 Gbit/s are shown to operate over 25 km of stand ard fibre with negligible crosstalk and < 1 dB dispersion penalty.
