Highly Flexible WDM PON System with a Single TDM Time Lens Source Enabling Record 150 km Downstream Reach

We propose a new OLT transmitter for WDM-PON based on optical Fourier transformation of a single-source TDM-PON signal to WDM-PON signals. We demonstrate flexible bit rates (10×1-to-64×2Gb/s) and 40×1Gb/s WDM-PON record unamplified downstream transmission reach of 150 km.
