4×40-Gb/s TWDM PON over 42 km and 64-way Power Split Using Optical Duobinary Signals and APD-Based Receiver

We demonstrate a four-channel 40-Gb/s-per-channel time- and wavelength-division-multiplexed PON over a 42-km, 64-split fiber plant using optical duobinary modulation. At 1550 nm, we obtain a reach of 0-26 km or 16-42 km using two dispersion-precompensation values.
