The main function of Optical Amplifier (OA) card launched by Shenzhen Gigalight is to compensate the power of signal light in the transmission link, and it can amplify the optical signals of up to 48 channels in C-band (channel spacing 100GHz) or 96 channels (channel spacing 50GHz) at the same time, and it has the features of gain flatness, adjustable gain and small noise index. At the same time, the card has built-in OSC optical monitoring channel to support OSC-based DCN communication, which is an indispensable part of DWDM system and future high-speed system, all-optical network long-distance transmission.
Application scenario
For optical terminal stations (OTMs) for booster amplification of multiplexing signals and pre-amplification of demultiplexed signals
Applicable to optical relay station (OLA), complete bidirectional transmission signal amplification, extend the transmission distance
