Abstract
In this paper, we have evaluated the performance of DPSK advanced modulation format in a bidirectional passive optical network for a triple play scenario at a constant symmetrical data rate of 10 Gbps. Data, voice and video signal has been successfully transmitted to a maximum of 128 users for a maximum distance of 100 km. Network performance was measured in terms of the Q factor, BER and eye opening, as a function of the number of users and distance of reach.
