RSOAs have been demonstrated to operate within a WDM PON architectures over a >60nm wavelength range with large path loss capabilities. Two RSOAs enable contiguous operation over the S, C and L bands; results indicate clearly that WDM architectures suitable for avionics with a PLC of >25dB are possible with only two devices. Performance at extended temperature ranges will be reported later in detail.
