The OA 1000 Amplifier Series provides the highly desired features and functionality of custom-designed EDFAs in a compact and economical package. It has been designed to address the new, higher capacity (higher channel count or 40 Gb/s) long haul system designs as well as the low cost metro add/drop amplification requirements.
The JDSU OA 1000 amplifier features a 25 dB gain and a saturated output power of 18 dBm. The module, which contains an erbium-doped fiber coil heater, also provides mid-stage access and 0.75 dB gain flatness.
The flexible OA 1000 platform supports these variations: output power and gain ranges; mid-stage loss; monitor ports; gain flattening filters; and erbium doped fiber coil heater. It uses the variations to modify optical functionality to within specifications, creating a cost effective solution per system requirements.
JDSU has extensive experience with the development of fully functioning EDFAs, and can design standard, high-performance optical amplifier products that meet your time-to-market requirements.
