Abstract

We propose a technique for achieving equalized power in upstream traffic in the gigabit passive optical network (G-PON). A simple power equalizer based on a Fabry–Perot laser diode (FP–LD) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. By the proposed scheme, the different upstream powers can be equalized. As a result, a 20 dB dynamic upstream power range from -5 to -25 dBm, having a 1.7 dB maximal power variation, is attained. Moreover, the performance of the proposed configuration is also discussed.
