10-Gb/s Polarization-Insensitive RSOA-based Self-Tuning transmitter for WDM-PON bridging up to 52 km

10-Gb/s operation of a network-embedded self-tuning transmitter exploiting a high-PDG RSOA in a polarization preserving configuration based on two-Faraday rotators, is demonstrated bridging up to 52 km of NZD- fibre. The dispersive load tolerance is finally analysed.
