Extended-band amplifier

Extended-band amplifier

The SystemReady 1590-nm extended-band fiber amplifier offers dwdm channels another 40 nm of bandwidth from 1570 to 1610 nm. The device features gain flattening and constant per-channel power against an add/drop situation. By shifting the transmission window from 1550 to 1590 nm, chromatic dispersion is slightly increased. This increase is small enough to allow OC-48 (2.5-Gbit/sec) or OC-192 (10-Gbit/sec) channels, but is large enough to suppress inter-channel crosstalk, according to the manufacturer.
