摘要
We extensively discuss 25 Gb/s per wavelength capacity in both IEEE and ITU-T standardization to support the increasing bandwidth requirement. In this Letter, we propose to use the optical dispersion compensation technique in an optical line terminal（OLT） combined with a bandwidth-limited electro-absorption modulated laser in an optical network unit to achieve 25 Gb/s capacity for the upstream link. We evaluate the positive and negative dispersion tolerances of 25 Gb/s electrical duo-binary（EDB） and pulse-amplitude modulation（PAM-4） signals. We achieve 39.5 and 31 d B upstream loss budgets for the 25 Gb/s EDB and PAM-4 signals by using-600 and-500 ps∕nm optical dispersion compensation in OLT, respectively, both supporting 0–40 km differential reach.
