A wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM PON) includes a central office that has: a broadband light source, a first wavelength division multiplexer to spectrum-slice light outputted from the light source, semiconductor optical amplifiers or variable optical attenuators, each modulating an associated one of spectrum-sliced lights in accordance with input data, and a second wavelength division multiplexer to multiplex optical signals respectively outputted from the semiconductor optical amplifiers. A remote node, connected to the central office via a main optical fiber, distributes the optical signals to distribution optical fibers, and, in, turn, to respective optical network units.
