The colorless technology has been offered as a solution to decrease the cost in wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM PON). The self-seeded reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (SS-RSOA) based on WDM PON has been proved to be a promising solution among colorless operatio...
