Abstract
An optical access network transceiver based on a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier operating as modulator and photodetector is demonstrated. Device characterization and modulation/detection tests show the system proper operation at 1.25 Gb/s to 30-km reach. This optical network unit design is a simple and capable solution for future fiber-to-the-home networks.
