PA-PL-1000IL

1U platform with single, dual or quad DWDM EDFA amplifiers

PL-1000IL is a flexible amplifier platform for DWDM designed to cost-effectively extend the optical link power budget for long distance DWDM systems.

From single wavelength, up to the full C-band, Up to 96 wavelengths
Booster, inline, and pre-amplifier.
Fully managed via dedicated integrated OSC
Includes mux/demux, amplifier, and DCM.
AGC and APC operation modes
Optional optical switch for facility protection
Integrated single/dual DCM for long distance 10G amplified links
Supports single and dual fibre operation

Overview

The PL-1000IL is fully managed, configured and monitored remotely as part of the network, via optical supervisory channel (OSC). The device supports AGC and APC operation modes.

The EDFAs are gain-adjustable and flattened, and have high optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), enabling to cascade several EDFAs to form an amplified OTN link over long distances without the need for regenerators or for building ROADM networks. The EDFA gain is controlled, adjusted and monitored by the user, and APC operating mode allows to maintain constant output power.

In addition, the PL-1000IL can incorporate a mux/demux and an optical switch and serve in edge applications.

Management

The PL-1000IL is fully managed, configured and monitored remotely as part of the network, via optical supervisory channel (OSC). In addition, the PL-1000IL supports both automatic gain control (AGC) and automatic power control (APC) operation modes. The amplifiers can be tuned to the network needs and monitored by PacketLight's free web-based management tool or PacketLight LightWatch^TM NMS.

EDFAs are used to boost optical signals in the 1550 nm wavelength range, which coincides with the lowest loss region in optical fibres, making them integral for long-distance fibre optic communication. They work by using erbium-doped fibers as the gain medium, where erbium ions are excited by a pump laser to amplify the signal through stimulated emission
