Demonstration of 10 GBPS Over G.655 Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber for Smart Grid Meter Reading

The shift of power systems faces significant obstacles in the areas of communication technology, the power market economy, and consumer acceptance studies in addition to power electronics. This study proposes a grid-based communication system utilizing optical fiber technology. VCSEL performance in G.655 NZDSF at 1550 nm is investigated theoretically and experimentally. VCSEL tunability is used to achieve the simultaneous clock signal and the data transmissions for meter reading. 10 Gbps over 25 km and 50 km was achieved using a DFB and a VCSEL. Clock signal transmission at 0.4 GHz oaflber was also achieved.
