Optical frequency shift keying (FSK) homodyne detection utilizing image rejection in FSK/amplitude shift keying (ASK) re-modulation wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) is proposed and demonstrated. Image rejection is adopted to achieve better performance. We show the result in back-to-back and 40-km distance respectively and apparent improvement is obtained in the latter situation by using image rejection. Several factors which affect the image rejection receiver ar
