© 2014 IEEE. Reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) fiber cavity lasers are attractive colorless, self-seeded, self-tuning, and directly modulatable sources for passive optical networks (PONs). They comprise of an RSOA in the optical network unit as the active element, a distribution fiber as the laser cavity, a waveguide grating router, and a common reflective mirror with the latter two positioned at the remote node. In this paper, we introduce a model and perform simulations to elucidate the recently discovered successful operationofthis new PON source. The results are inagreement with experiments; the formation ofanarrow laser spectrum with a relatively constant output power is seen despite a relatively broad passband window of the waveguide grating router. We further study mode competition and mode partition noise. It is shown that proper chromatic dispersion management can overcome mode partition noise limitations. The quality of the RSOA fiber cavity laser does not degrade when being directly modulated and as a result these highly multimode lasers offer an economic way to transport Gbit/s upstream data over kilometers of fiber in a wavelength division multiplexing-PON.
