Optical Amplifier modules
LambdaDriver
®
Optical Amplifier modules
are a family
of low-noise Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) ideal
for Metro and Long-Haul Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) as well as Single Wavelength
applications. The optical design, coupled with sophisticated
control circuitry, allows these Optical Amplifiers to provide
constant gain even with wavelengths being added or
dropped in the network. Any fluctuations caused by
wavelengths addition/removal can be handled by its ultra-
fast transient suppression.
When paired with the
LambdaDriver
®
Element
Management Module , full monitoring and configuration
capabilities are supported with a local RS-232 interface
and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interfaces for remote network
monitoring using Telnet and SNMP.
Using MRV’s MegaVision Web
®
NMS provides remote
control reducing the costly need for many infield service
calls.
The modules allow monitoring of input and output power
levels (real dBm values), temperature and signal gain.
The modules can be operated in two modes: automatic
gain control or automatic power control. These operating
modes and their respective parameter settings are factory
pre-configured but can be changed by MRV authorized
personnel.
In AGC mode, the module maintains constant gain for
each channel according to the Gain parameter setting,
as long as the total output power does not exceed the
maximum rated value (+22 dBm). This mode is factory pre-
configured.

WDM & Optical Transport
In APC mode, the module maintains the output total
power constant at the pre-defined Output Power
settings.
Additionaly a special OA module, EM800-OAPD, includes
an integrated Tunable Optical Dispersion Compensator
(TODC). Tuning of dispersion is done via the system
management module.
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
modules install into any of the LambdaDriver
®
chassis.
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.
Besides DWDM networks application, LambdaDriver
®
EDFAs can be used in any Single channel application
thus providing flexible means of extending an optical
link by compensating for optical budget loss.
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.
