摘要
We propose a novel wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network （WDM-PON） to simultaneously transmit unicast data and multicast services with upstream data re-modulation in optical network units （ONUs）. For each wavelength channel in the optical line terminal （OLT）, the downstream unicast data are applied to one arm of a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator （DPMZM） to generate baseband unicast non-return-to-zero （NRZ） signal. A radio frequency （RF） control signal is applied to the other arm to present two un-modulated sidebands for multicast data modulation in a differential phase-shift keying （DPSK） format. The flexible and dynamic multicast services are realized by simply switching the RF control signal on or off. The proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated with 1.25-Gb/s downstream unicast, multicast, and upstream data.
