We compare the performance of a wavelength remodulated wavelength‐division‐multiplexed passive optical network implemented using Manchester‐coded or inverse‐return‐to‐zero (IRZ)‐coded signal downstream and non‐return‐to‐zero remodulated signal upstream. We investigate the effects of varying differences between downstream and upstream bit rates on the two coding schemes. When the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is less than or equal to 50%, the performance of Manchester coding is better than that of IRZ coding. However, when the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is higher than 50%, Manchester code requires appropriate time delay between upstream and downstream signals, whereas IRZ code needs reduced extinction ratio in the downstream signal.
