Abstract:
We introduce a novel rate-flexible coherent TFDM PON architecture with adaptable modulation formats and baud rates. This enables accommodation of diverse end-user needs in highspeed coherent PONs. Demonstrations achieve 322.5 Gb/s aggregated capacity and support distributed splitting over various distances and split ratios.
