title: Noise-suppressed mutually injected Fabry-Perot laser diodes for 10-Gb/s broadcast signal transmission in WDM passive optical networks.
abstract: We propose and demonstrate 10-Gb/s broadcast signal transmission in a wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) by employing a modular-type mutually injected Fabry-Perot laser diodes (MI F-P LDs) as a cost-effective multi-wavelength light source (MWS). We introduce a simple interferometric noise suppression technique with proper electrical filtering to improve transmission performance. The noise suppression doubles the number of supported subscribers with a single MI F-P LDs.
