RSOA wavelengths… • Can do upstream and downstream using a single wavelength via data stripping and remodulation. • System compromises required • Very high spec RSOA • Can use different bands for upstream and downstream and cyclic nature of AWG’s. • Need filtering at ONT • Increase number of users for given wavelength spacing
Design • InP:InGaAsP • Buried Heterostructure • Lateral Waveguide Tapers • Tensile Bulk • 0.88 and AR coatings
TO-packaged S-band RSOA parametric tests • Standard tests at 25ºC and 80mA
RSOA modulation experiments • TO packaged devices on ETS evaluation board • 50mA DC bias, 60mA modulation • S band RSOA, CW injection at 1465 – 1530nm • Stage temperature 25°C • Modulation at 1.25 Gbps data rate with 2^11-1 PRBS bit pattern. • The RX consists of an APD photoreceiver and a 10GHz limiting amplifier
Sensitivity, Output Power, Gain and Path Loss Capability at 1490nm and 25ºC • ~30dB return path loss capability at -20dBm input
Sensitivity, Output Power, Gain and Path Loss Capability at 1580nm and 25ºC
Sensitivity, Output Power, Gain and PLC versus Wavelength at 25ºC • -20dBm CW input power and 25ºC stage temperature • Eye diagram at 1490nm
S, C and L band performance S-band device C-band device
Gain versus Current for the S-Band RSOA • Measured with lensed fibre(~2dB coupling efficiency) • Band filling effects explain in part the wavelength dependence of the extinction ratio
Summary • TO packaged polarisation insensitive S,C& L band RSOA • ~1dB penalty at 1.25Gbit/s compared to commercial M-Z modulator • >25dB upstream PLC over 60nm at -20dBm input • In tandem with C/L band device allows operation over a 120nm bandwidth • Temperature performance shows operation up to ~70C • Higher performance required….
