We propose a scalable support WDM‐based orthogonal frequency division multiple access‐passive optical network uplink transmission system using an injection‐locked Fabry–Perot laser diode (IL‐FP‐LD). This system uses an injection‐locking technique to enhance the usable bandwidth by making stable channel states. By properly controlling the IL‐FP‐LD operation, the number of optical network units (ONU) within a wavelength can be increased, which improves the optical bandwidth efficiency for the uplink transmission. The experimental results show an enhanced modulation bandwidth of 3.5 GHz. Compared with a conventional RSOA which has a modulation bandwidth of 1.5 GHz, our scheme improves the number of ONUs that can be accommodated within a wavelength more than two times. The total discrete multitone signal received from the ONUs, with QPSK mapping on the subcarriers was 6.77 Gbps over a 23‐km standard single mode fiber transmission. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
