…, improving optical budgets and potentially minimizing costs. The modules are designed with enough flexibility that each OA type can be used alone as a transmit (post-) or receive (pre-) amplifier, or in pairs to create an In-Line Amplifier (ILA). Fixed-gain and variable-gain amplifiers can even be paired…

…Management services. Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) EDFAs differ from the normal method of regenerative or electro-optic repeaters in that light does not have to be converted to an electrical signal, amplified, and then converted back to light. Optical amplifiers contain a length of fiber that is doped…

…of transmitting up to sixteen (16) discrete optical channels over one fiber. Each channel is bit-rate transparent from 150 Mb/s to 2.4 Gb/s and operates with existing SONET/SDH/Asynch fiber optic terminals. This system incorporates optical line amplifier repeaters to extend the transmission range, and…

…to 10G, maximum transmission distance is reduced by 75% at 40G speeds and 90% at 100G speeds.  This results in the need for additional in-line amplifiers or regeneration equipment (which of course adds cost to the network).  Additionally, polarization mode dispersion (or PMD) is increased 4X…
