Using Wavelength Splitting at the Remote Node to Mitigate Rayleigh Backscattering for Optical Wired and Wireless Access Networks

Abstract

We demonstrate an optical wired and wireless access network using wavelength-splitting (WS) at remote-node. A pair of CW carriers is generated from each laser source for wired and wireless applications respectively for effective Rayleigh-backscattering mitigation. (c) 2010 Optical Society of America
