De scrip tion
Five alarms are generated by the modules: loss
of input signal, loss of output signal, output
power degradation, laser over down circuitries
are set up in the electronic's module : automatic
shut clown (the output power is switched off if
there is no input power or if the temperature is
out of range), and external shut down
command.
The Alcatel 1902 OFA products belong to the
Alcatel 1900 OFA family of Optical Fiber
Amplifier (OFA) modules, designed for the third
telecommunica-tion window (1550 nm). Using
reliability proven high power 1480 nm lasers
and optimized Erbium-Doped Fiber, they
provide high gain, high output power and low
noise amplification. They incorporate a very
high degree of integration and are presented in
a compact package with connectorized pigtails.
The modules may be mounted directly into a PC
board and are, thus, ideal for optimization of
system size. The integrated electronics provide
an easy user digital interface, exempting the
designer from input & output signal controls.
The output power is kept constant through on
APC (Automatic Power Control) loop, and the
chip temperature is stabilized at + 25 ± 10 °C
with an ATC (Automatic Temperature Control)
loop.
