title: Over 210 Gb/s PDM multiband DDO-OFDM LR-PON downstream with simple self-polarization diversity.
abstract: A simple polarization division multiplexed (PDM) multiband direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) long reach passive optical network (LR-PON) with net data rate over 210 Gb/s on single wavelength channel is proposed and experimentally demonstrated with self-polarization diversity technique. The proposed self-polarization diversity function is realized at a powered remote node with all passive components to achieve cost-effectiveness and simultaneously double both the channel capacity and subscriber numbers. Meanwhile, this architecture retains the simplicity of direct-detection single receiver-end without any hardware or software modification at the optical network units. The measured power penalty of the proposed PDM multiband DDO-OFDM LR-PON is 0.8 dB over 100 km transmission with respect to that of the ordinary single polarization scheme at a specified forward error correction threshold.
