| Avanex Develops Ultra-Thin Amplifier Module Avanex Corporation has announced the introduction of the industry's thinnest erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) module. The ultra-thin PureGain 400 is only 7.5 mm in thickness, over 35 percent thinner than any amplifier previously available from Avanex. Avanex's new PureGain 400 is designed to work within the stringent space constraints found in transponder and line card applications and is an essential tool to enable increased bit rate transponders. Customers can use the new PureGain 400 module throughout the network terminal in situations that require both high-performance amplification and compact form factor. The physical and electrical interface of this new product can be shared with transponders, reducing the time to market and engineering costs. The PureGain 400 module can be used in a pre-amp configuration, which enables high receiver sensitivity without a trans-impedance amplifier, or a booster configuration, which enables high launch power in advanced transmitter designs. Key benefits of integrating the PureGain 400 into a network terminal include reduction of inventory costs, higher transmit and receive performance, and lower power consumption. The PureGain 400 utilizes proven standard optical components and is compatible with Telcordia qualification requirements. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
