Provided is a wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) apparatus. The WDM-PON includes an optical source unit, an optical mux, and a chirped Bragg grating. The optical source unit generates an optical signal. The optical mux receives the optical signal from the optical source unit through one end of the optical mux, multiplexes the optical signal, and outputs the multiplexed optical signal. The chirped Bragg grating is connected to the other end of the optical mux. The chirped Bragg grating again reflects the optical signal having passed the optical mux to re-input a certain portion of the optical signal into the optical mux and the optical source unit. The optical mux performs a spectrum slicing on the re-inputted optical signal and operates the optical source unit using a channel wavelength of the optical mux as a main oscillation wavelength.

An optical amplifier includes a passive waveguide region and an active waveguide region. The passive waveguide region is configured to receive an incident optical signal and adjust a mode of the optical signal. The active waveguide region is integrated to the passive waveguide region and configured to perform gain modulation on the optical signal received from the passive waveguide region by changing density of carriers in response to a current applied to the active waveguide region. Internal loss of the active waveguide region is adjusted to produce a resonance effect and thereby to increase bandwidth of the active waveguide. Therefore, the optical amplifier can have a wide bandwidth under a low-current condition.
