We propose an efficient carrier-reuse scheme for intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) passive optical networks (PONs) with Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise circumvention. In our proposed system, the number of light sources is halved since no extra light sources are required for the up...
