10 Gb/s Bidirectional Transmission with an Optimized SOA and a SOA-EAM Based ONU

We investigated the application of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an SOA electro-absorption modulator (SOA-EAM) as attractive, low-cost solutions in passive optical networks (PONs). The main characteristics of an SOA with optimal performance for phase and amplitude modulation were teste...
