Abstract

We demonstrate a simple self-polarization-stabilization technique for the long-reach RSOA-based WDM-PON implemented with self-homodyne receivers. The effectiveness of this technique is confirmed in 2.5-Gb/s transmission experiments over 68-km long link partially composed of installed fibers.
