Keywords:Future high capacity and long-reach access networks including WDM-PON, OFDM-PON, TWDM-PON, Access Network and Subsystem

We experimentally demonstrate 10.3125 Gbit/s upstream transmission with loss budget of 42.5 dB by using DRA combined with pre-amplifiers, where DRA is avoided in the access span due to its many optical connection points.
