OPTICAL CHANNEL MONITORS OVERVIEW |
 |
Optical Channel MonitorThis DWDM channel monitor product line is ideal for original equipment manufacturers looking to achieve the necessary cost targets for embedded DWDM monitoring for ROADM, multi-haul and third-party wavelengths applications. These products features spectral processing algorithms that have been designed to address the new requirements of next-generation ROADM systems. These new requirements include DWDM channel transmission at data rates of up to 40 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s using any combination of modulation formats. |

Optical Layer MonitorThe optical layer monitor (OLM) is ideal for cable operators and telecom service providers looking for a standalone, carrier-grade solution for pro-active monitoring and alarming of the DWDM transmission line on a per-wavelength basis. The OLM can be used to retrofit the large embedded base of DWDM passives and standalone optical amplifiers and can be implemented in-service by simply connecting the monitoring port of the OLM to existing optical test points along the DWDM transmission line. |
