摘要: This paper investigates the impact of backreflection lights on upstream transmission in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) single-fiber loopback access networks, where a WDM light source is located at central office (CO) and each optical network unit (ONU) includes an modulator with amplifiers. study considers from two sources, continuous wave (CW) CO (Reflection-I) modulated signal ONU (Reflection-II). It confirmed, for first time, that Reflection-II increases strongly gain. To estimate these lights, simple intensity noise estimation scheme presented. clarifies acceptable line losses 10 dB 1.25 Gb/s under return loss (ORL) -32 dB.
