This paper experimentally investigates the impact of linewidth on system impairment in WDM-PONs for various wavelength-independent ONU configurations. We show that the power penalty decreases and the optimal ONU gain changes as the linewidth increases.

A lensed fiber with a convex-piano silicon microlens is proposed for butt-coupling between standard single-mode fibers and high-index contrast waveguides with fine mode-field diameters. The theoretical focused spot diameter is 0.56 μm at the wavelength 1.55 μm.
