JDSU's Agile Optical Amplifiers respond dynamically to accommodate changes in number of wavelengths or signal powers using advanced transient suppression techniques. As a result, they preserve gain, flatness and output power over a wide range of input conditions to meet the needs of reconfigurable optical networks.
The OA 4500 is the next step in the evolution of JDSU OA Series of platform optical amplifiers that features fast transient control, variable gain, and mid-stage access. The optical performance of this EDFA, along with its control flexibility, makes it ideally suitable for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), long haul, ultra long haul, and metro applications. With a maximum optical output of 21.5 dBm and variable gain range of 19 to 32 dB, this module is suitable for both pre-amplifier and inline applications.
The OA 4500 Series is optimized for use with dispersion compensation units of up to 11 dB. This module's fast transient suppression feature minimizes transmission penalties as channels are added and dropped in the network, or as input varies. It uses a Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) level RS 232 control interface driven by a single 5 V power supply.
JDSU has extensive experience with the development of fully functioning EDFAs and can design standard, high-performance optical amplifier products that meet your critical time-to-market requirements.
