PM OA

Optical Amplifiers

Optical amplifiers are an essential component in metro, regional and long haul optical networks. The Ekinops PM Optical Amplifier (PM OA) modules allow optical signals to be transmitted over longer distances without the need for regeneration. It is simple and economical and can amplify multiple wavelengths to distances of several hundred km. The PM OA is an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) that is protocol and data rate independent. The PM OA modules are part of the Ekinops 360 and take the space of two slots in the Ekinops chassis.

The PM OA amplifies optical signals in uni or bi-directional modes and may be ordered as a Booster or a Booster/Pre-amplifier. As a Booster, the PM OA amplifies the outgoing DWDM signals from the transmit side to overcome the attenuation of the fiber span. As a Pre-amplifier, the PM OA-BP amplifies the DWDM signals coming into the receiver in order to allow sufficient optical power level for the receiver of each wavelength.
