Experimental Assessment of Stimulated Raman Scattering Impairments between XGS-PON and 50G-(E)PON

Abstract

Critical 0.68dB of power depletion due to SRS on the upstream signals of 50G-(E)PON US and XGS-PON US is measured experimentally when contra-propagating in 20km SMF with 50G-(E)PON Downstream.
