Abstract

Disclosed are a system and a method for controlling multicast data. The system may comprise: a plurality of transceivers, each of which comprises a laser configured to generate an optical carrier, the generated optical carrier being modulated by electrical downstream p-t-p data so as to generate optical downstream p-t-p IRZ signal; a PM configured to modulate the generated optical downstream p-t-p IRZ signal by electrical multicast data so as to generate orthogonally modulated signal; and a DI configured to demodulate the orthogonally modulated data and has a frequency response peak or dip in response to the demodulating, wherein an offset of a laser center wavelength of the laser from the frequency response peak or dip is adjustable so as to selectively enable or disable the multicast data.
