In APC mode, the module maintains the output total

power constant at the pre-defined Output Power

settings.

Additionaly each OA module with “M” in part number

includes a special“Mid-stage”port for Optical Dispersion

Compensator.

There are 3 types of OAs: Booster, In-Line and Pre-

Amplifier. The main difference between these modules

is the Input power level that dictates the application of

the specific module and the Gain values. For example,

Booster is usually used at the beginning of the line and

therefore Input levels above 0 dBm and Gain of 9 to15

dB should be expected. On the other hand, Pre-Amplifier

Input level is very weak (down to –32 dBm/channel)

because it is positioned at the end of the line.

Multi-channel (DWDM) amplifiers are equipped with

Gain Flattening Filters (GFF) and provide flat gain

response across entire C-band and input power range.

For single channel applications GFF cost is saved.

Optical Amplifier modules provide Automatic Power

Shutdown, when input is below auto-shutdown

threshold. Power Shutdown can be also forced through

the management.

The compact, 1-slot LambdaDriver Optical Amplifier

Most of the standard EDFA units have maximum

+18dBm total output power. Special “High Power” EDFA

modules have maximum +22dBm total output power

that mainly serve high wavelength count (more than

32 waves) DWDM or ultra long single span applications.

These high power units are double slot size.

Each module provides visual indications of the front

panel and can be operated without management as

plug and play EDFA.

EDFAs can be used in any Single channel application

thus providing flexible means of extending an optical

link by compensating for optical budget loss.
