Abstract

This letter proposes a new power equalization scheme based on cascaded semiconductor optical amplifiers, for 10-Gb/s ethernet passive optical networks with uneven topology. For networks with a large number of subscribers, the proposed equalization scheme enables a 16-dB reduction of the receiver dynamic range.
