The steadily rising demand for multimedia and data services, the falling cost and
omnipresence of Ethernet and the maturity of passive optical networks (PON) technology …

A comprehensive review of the optical transceivers for fiber-to-the-premises applications is
presented, with emphasis on system requirements and enabling technologies. Recent …

This paper presents three new gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) physical-
media-dependent (PMD) prototypes: a burst-mode optical transmitter, an avalanche …

This paper presents a 1.25-Gb/s burst-mode receiver (BMRx) for upstream transmission over
gigabit passive optical networks (G-PONs). The dc-coupled receiver uses a unique …

In this paper, we demonstrate a 5/10-Gb/s burst-mode clock and data recovery circuit (BM-
CDR) for passive optical network (PON) applications. The BM-CDR is based on a phase …

We describe progress to date on the IST project PIEMAN (Photonic Integrated Extended
Metro and Access Network, www. ist-pieman. org), which aims to build a radically new …

A DC coupled burst-mode receiver for digital pulse position modulation (DPPM) is proposed
for the first time. An analysis of the potential performance benefits of using such a receiver …

Abstract A 1.25 Gbit/s DC-coupled burst-mode receiver for gigabit passive optical networks,
is presented. By the use of fast but accurate amplitude recovery circuitry with offset …

In this paper, we evaluate the design and performance of an entirely passive extended 10-
gigabit-capable PON (XG-PON) using eight channels of coarse wavelength-division …

Performance evaluations, for bit error rate (BER) and power penalty, are performed for DC
coupled burst mode (BM) receivers in the presence of both amplified spontaneous emission …
