Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel wavelength-division- multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) scheme for providing broadcasting service by using an inverted amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In this scheme, single pump signal is converted into multiple wavelengths signal by spectrum sliced wavelength conversion. We expect it could be very practical and cost-effective solution for broadcasting in WDM-PON due to its simplicity.
