Abstract
The potential advantages of coherent multichannel systems in the subscriber network are well documented.1,2 They offer greater receiver sensitivity, high capacity and flexible optical multiplexing, and the frequency agile tunable receiver can significantly reduce and even eliminate some switching requirements in the network. The work described here is part of the RACE project 1010 activities and addresses the design and construction of a demonstration system illustrating the use of CMC techniques for digital video distribution over a passive network. The partners in this project are GPT (and their subcontractors GEC-Marconi Materials Technology), Philips, Siemens. Henrich-Hertz-Institut, and IMEC.
