Disclosed is a passive optical network comprising a central office including a plurality of first reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers of a quantum-dot type, each of which generates a wavelength-seeded downstream optical signal on a downstream channel of a corresponding wavelength, a plurality of optical network units each of which includes a second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier of a multi-quantum-well type, the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier generating a wavelength-seeded upstream optical signal on an upstream channel of a corresponding wavelength and a remote node for outputting the downstream optical signals to corresponding optical network units, and multiplexing and outputting the upstream optical signals to the central office.
