Abstract
We demonstrate a WDM passive optical network that uses high-speed, polarization-independent surface normal modulators as upstream 25-Gb/s transmitters. A band of CW wavelengths, sourced at the optical line terminal, establishes the upstream channels. System performance in our single-fiber architecture is limited by Rayleigh backscattering, but is below the FEC threshold.
