GX2 GX2-OA100B SERIES
Optical Amplifier
Network applications of the Motorola OmniStar GX2- OA100B Series Optical Amplifiers include in-line optical
amplifiers for long-haul trunks and DWDM architectures, as well as applications for direct distribution to multiple
nodes. The GX2-OA100B Series Optical Amplifiers are designed for use with
the OmniStar® GX2 1550 nm directly or externally modulated transmitters. With
adjustable output and three nominal powers available, +13dBm, +16dBm and
+18dBm, the GX2-OA100B Series will accommodate link budgets for most trunk
applications. Its three operating modes can satisfy a wide range of system
design requirements: Constant Output Power mode-to maintain exact optical
levels; Constant Pump Power mode-to optimize noise figures; and Constant
Gain mode for DWDM applications. The GX2- OA100B Series Optical
Amplifiers employ a proprietary Erbium-doped fiber formulation that provides low
noise performance and the most reliable 980 nm pump lasers available in the
industry. Other user benefits offered as part of the OmniStar GX2 platform
include: higher density, SNMP interface for network management, embedded
birth certificates and Quick-Swap module capability.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
• Low Noise Figure
• User-settable optical power alarms
• Flat gain for DWDM applications from 1546nm to 1562nm
• Constant Output Power, Constant Gain, and Constant Pump Power Modes
• Front Panel Key Switch provided for pump on/off control
• Quick-Swap capability allows replacement modules to be automatically configured to prestored settings
• Includes a PowerPC® microprocessor made by Motorola for intelligent communication with the GX2-
CM100B Control Module
• Operating Temperature Range from -20°C to +65°C
