ABSTRACT We proposed a remote pumped bidirectional C+L band fiber amplifier for wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network. A high-reflectivity pump reflector using three cascading fiber Bragg gratings is designed to reflect the residual pump power for L-band amplification. Both the gains for C-band and L-band are larger than 10.0 dB under −10 dBm launched power. Using the remote pumped bidirectional fiber amplifier, the power penalty is only 0.82 dB after 10 Gb/s, 24 km bidirectional transmission. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
