Line Driver (LD)/Optical Amplifiers (OA)
 Building blocks - Amplifier

Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs):

 Amplifies any optical signal within its operating range
 Bandwidth depends on the design of the amplifier
 Initially about 1530-1560 nm
 EDFA has some limitations, such as build up of gain distortion
and Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE)
EDFA Characteristics:
 Erbium is a rare earth element that can be added to the glass
of a short length of fiber.
 When an Erbium-dopped length of fiber is pumped by high
energy at 980-1480 nm, the atomic process makes energy
available to light in the 1550 nm, from excited electrons in the
Erbium.
 The excited electrons, in 1550 nm range, give off photons of
the same wavelength, phase and direction of the original
photons.
 Gain profile depends on the incoming signal wavelengths and
the signal power.
 Even though amplification is optical, the pump lasers require
electrical power.
Line Driver (LD)/Optical Amplifiers (OA)

Wide range of optical amplifiers available for 1830 PSS.

Application:
 Access area
 Metro networks
 Long-haul
 Ultra long-haul

 All amplifiers terminate the Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC)

 Support for up to 88 channels
 Some OAs have mid-stage access for Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM)
(allowing a dispersion compensating fiber to be placed at the amplifier mid-stage)
 Applications with only coherent traffic (40G/100G/200G) do not need DCM (without
mid-stage access)
 Same OA types may be used as Ingress or Egress
 Automatic Power Reduction (APR) to reduce the chance of damage, if there is a line
cut in the network
 For long spans, RAMAN amplification can be added to the OA.

 MVAC + pluggable WT-SFP
Wavelength Tracker
Key reusability

 The NE supports reuse of WT key pairs for trail instances.

 The rekey with duplicate capability allows an operator to clear a key duplicate alarm
from a network.
 New alarms are associated with this feature:
 A new WT encoder port condition is used to indicate if no keys can be selected, given
the rules for auto-keying that apply to the channel being keyed. The operator uses this
condition to understand whether:
 All possible Wave Key combinations have been assigned for the OCh frequency
of the channel so rekeying with duplicates allowed is necessary for key selection
 A new cross-connect end-point condition is used to indicate if two instances of the
same WT keys are provisioned on the same node:
 This condition is informational only and has a severity of not alarmed.
 The information is provided in case a network operator wants to minimize the
amount of key reuse on a single NE.
Wavelength Tracker

Long-haul Wavelength Tracker

 Wavelength Tracker types supported:

 Standard Wavelength Tracker (WT), for regional applications.

 Long-haul Wavelength Tracker (LH-WT), for long-haul ->
o Target reach of 2200KM at 10G and 1100 KM at 40G
o Supported by WTCOM card (connected to the external facing LD on a optical
line. One WTCOM can provide LH-WT for any 2 LDs
o Unkeyed optical channels are not supported by the WTOCM
o ILAs do not use WTOCM cards

 Each line within an optical node, and each endpoint on an OMS span, must be
configured with the same WT capability, either long haul (with WTOCM), or standard
(without WTOCM).
