摘要: Optical beat interference can be the dominant source of noise in subcarrier-multiplexed (SCM) passive-optical networks (PONs). We have studied how relative-optical-beat-interference (ROBIN) between Fabry-Perot (FP) lasers varies using with both equal, and unequal mode spacing. In our experiments, ROBIN ranged from -96 dB/Hz to -115 dB/Hz. Because level depends on distribution optical power lasers' modes, different spacing led a 4-dB improvement over equal The is also correlated linewidth interfering modes. Broadening these modes by driving below threshold lowered an additional 10 dB.
