Recent progress of high-speed burst-mode transceiver technologies for TDM-PON systems

In this paper, we report on the performances both of ONU and OLT transceivers for 10G-EPON systems including dynamic power saving technology and 10G/1G dual-rate receiving technology. The dynamic power saving technology for ONU can realize fast response less than 736 ns and high power consumption degradation more than 38 % in the heavy uplink traffic conditions. On the other hand, OLT receiver can achieve high receiver sensitivity for each 10G and 1G less than −30.6 dBm and −34.6 dBm, respectively, with fast receiver settling times of 800 ns for 10G and 400 ns for 1G.
