Abstract

We demonstrate an optimization method of the decision threshold level in optical receivers for WDM-PONs based on wavelength locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes. The decision threshold level is controlled by the average optical power. For the WDM-PON with 100 GHz channel spacing, we reduced required injection power for color-free operation by 6 dB using the proposed method.
