    Abstract: A tunable optical network unit (ONU) for a multi-wavelength passive optical network (MW PON) system and an operation method thereof are provided. The tunable ONU includes a cyclic tunable filter configured to have cyclic wavelength transmission properties that allow all wavelength channels of both a downstream signal and an upstream signal and to vary a wavelength to pass therethrough; a wavelength splitter configured to split an upstream signal wavelength band and a downstream signal wavelength band; a photodetector element configured to detect a downstream signal that is transmitted through the wavelength splitter, passing through the cyclic tunable filter which is aligned to a specific downstream signal wavelength channel; and a tunable transmitter configured to output to the wavelength transmitter an upstream signal of a wavelength channel that is determined based on an aligned downstream signal wavelength channel of the cyclic tunable filter.

    Abstract: A silicon photonics-based optical modulator is disclosed. The optical modulator includes first radio frequency (RF) metal electrodes that operate as a ground, phase shifters disposed between the first RF metal electrodes for optically modulating an optical signal transmitted along an optical waveguide, second RF metal electrodes disposed between the phase shifters for providing an RF electrical signal received from a driving driver located outside of the optical modulator through one end, resistor-inductors (RL) connected to another end of the second RF metal electrodes, an inductive line disposed between the RLs and a power supply for applying a bias voltage to the optical modulator and the driving driver, and a silicon capacitor disposed between the RLs and the power supply for preventing a degradation of an RF response characteristic of the silicon photonics-based optical modulator caused by the inductive line.

    Abstract: Wavelength channels used in the optical network system are classified into downstream channels used to transmit optical signals from an optical line terminal (OLT) to an optical network unit (ONU) and upstream channels that are used to transmit optical signals from the ONU to the OLT. The wavelength channels are included in an O-band and may not overlap each other. One of the upstream channels are allocated to a wavelength band (for example, a zero-dispersion window) in which a four-wave mixing occurs. A wavelength spacing between the upstream channels and the downstream channels is determined based on a performance of separating the upstream channels and the downstream channels in a bidirectional optical sub assembly (BOSA) of the ONU. Also, a wavelength spacing between the downstream channels is determined based on a performance of separating the downstream channels in the BOSA.
