Abstract
A burst mode optical repeater is provided. The burst mode optical repeater receives optical signals, which are transmitted from a plurality of optical network units (ONUs) in a passive optical network (PON) to a central office using a time division multiplexing access (TDMA) method, and relays the received optical signals using an optical-electrical-optical (OEO) method. Since the burst mode optical repeater can be installed anywhere between an optical line terminal (OLT) and the ONUs, the number of subscribers and transmission range that can be supported by a corresponding network can be increased.
