Pulsating master and injected slave weak-resonant-cavity laser diodes based quasi-color-free 2.5Gb/s RZ DWDM-PON

Abstract

The 25-km bi-directional 2.5Gb/s pulsed-RZ transmission in a quasi-color-free DWDM-PON with down-and up-stream slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diodes (WRC-FPLDs) coherently injection-locking and pulsating by a gain-switched master WRC-FPLD after 200-GHz AWG channelization is demonstrated.
