The demonstrated system allows the use of uncooled lasers with possible wavelength drift across a CWDM band (20 nm) with optical amplification and narrow optical filtering with no performance degradation. A complete study of potential implementations was performed with experimental results showing that a target performance of 10-10 could be achieved over 120 km of standard fiber with transmitter wavelengths from 1542 to 1558 nm and DWDM backhaul wavelengths from 1520 to 1535 nm. This gives the potential to support up to 2560 users. date: 2009-02 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/JSAC.2009.090204 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green doi: 10.1109/JSAC.2009.090204 lyricists_name: Mitchell, J lyricists_id: JMITC40 full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications volume: 27 number: 2 pagerange: 126-133 refereed: TRUE issn: 0733-8716 citation: Shea, D.P.; Mitchell, J.E.; (2009) Architecture to integrate multiple PONs with long reach DWDM backhaul.
