Abstract:
This research demonstrates optical access network at bit rate 10 Gb/s based on XG-PON standard ITU-T G.987 with only downstream wavelength about 1550 nm. The purposes are the maximum distance of 62 Km and a large number of 256 subscribers. In consequence, power budget and rise-time budget equations are applied to calculate the limitation of total loss and pulse broadening time due to Chromatic Dispersion (CD). This thesis uses two optical transmitters: (1) Electro-Absorption Modulation Laser (EML) with 8.69 dB Extinction Ratio (ER) and (2) Mach-Zehnder Modulation Transmitter (MZM Transmitter) with 11.18 dB and 15.17 dB ERs, resulting in different Bit Error Rate (BER). Moreover, there are 4 cases to consider the trend of BER curves. The first case is loopback case. The second case is 60-Km Standard Single Mode Fiber (SSMF) that causes worse BER because of CD. The third case is 62-Km SSSM with Erbium Doped-Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) to increase power budget. Its BER gets worse due to Amplified Spontaneous Emission noise (ASE noise). The last case is 62-Km SSMF with EDFA and Tunable Optical Band Pass Filter (TOBPF) in order to reduce ASE noise from EDFA, that results in better BER. In conclusion, this research achieves the optical access network at bit rate 10 Gb/s with the maximum distance of 62-Km SSMF and 256 subscribers by using EDFA.
