Product Overview

EDFA Amplifier

Description
Carrier networks continue to grow, with Service Level
Agreements becoming ever more demanding. As
networks grow, so does the need for efficient optical
amplification. MICROSENS continues to lead the way in
optical performance and amplification with the new
amplifier family.
It allows optical signals to be transmitted over longer
distances without the need for regeneration or external
power control modules. The new MICROSENS amplifier
family automatically compensates the gain settings as
fibers degrade over time due to aging or splicing, and
seamlessly adjusts the optical power as channels are
added and removed. This eliminates the need to
manually adjust the network as it evolves.
Properties
Flexible options such as Optical Booster, Preamplifier
or In-line Amplifier
Output power up to 23 dBm
Data rate and protocol independent
Amplifies multiple wavelengths over several hundred
kilometers
Bidirectional amplifier on a single board
Low noise and variable nominal gain
Integrated Optical Supervisory Channel
Low power consumption
Automatic Fiber aging compensation
Works in constant output power or constant gain
mode

The MICROSENS amplifier family amplifies optical

signals bidirectionally and can be ordered as integrated
Optical Boost and Pre-amp (OABP) or Integrated Optical
In-Line Amplifier (OAIL) in a single unit form factor.

The implemented span loss monitoring functionality

deals efficiently with fiber aging and fiber fixes-related
issues, avoiding OSNR impact on any channels.
