Abstract
A simple scheme for the implementation of an erbium fibre ASE-based ultra-broadband source with a high power spectral density, which is based on the CW supercontinuum generation technique, is experimentally demonstrated. A ∼130 nm broadband incoherent light with 500 mW output power is presented. The broadband source is shown to be suitable for spectrum sliced WDM PON applications through a short reach transmission experiment. Error-free transmission of spectrum sliced signals over a 25 km SMF link is achieved.
