We experimentally demonstrate 100 Gb/s bidirectional transmission over 40 km using a multi-wavelength bidirectional optical sub-assembly (BOSA) based on a single bidirectional multi-wavelength Mux/Demux. The Mux/Demux consists of an optical zig-zag glass block and thin film filters. Four. In order to achieve low-cost scalability, the same-wavelength bidirectional (SWB) fiber communication system is a better solution. We discuss. By replacing one of the light sources with LEDs, cost reduction and higher reliability can be achieved. Since the relationship is as shown on the right, simply replacing the VCSEL with an LED has extremely poor coupling efficiency. Transmission impairments, dominated by crosstalk, are specifically estimated leveraging on novel close-form expressions to determine optical reach, launch power, and number of. realization of a novel fiber-optic radio frequency (RF) transfer scheme with the bidirectional frequency division multiplexing (FDM) dissemination technique.
