    Abstract

    A DSP-based cross-channel interference cancellation (CCIC) technique with initial condition-free, fast convergence and signal modulation format independence, is experimentally demonstrated in a two-channel point-to-point digital filter multiple access (DFMA) PON system based on intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IMDD). The CCIC-induced transmission performance improvements under various system conditions are fully investigated for the first time. It is shown that with one iteration only the CCIC technique can achieve a reduction in individual OFDM subcarrier BERs of more than 1000
    times, an increase in transmission capacity by as much as 19 times and an increase in optical
    power budget by as much as 3.5dB. The CCIC technique thus has the potential to drastically
    improve the transmission performance of DFMA PONs.
