  • Working principle of WSS optical module

    Working principle of WSS optical module

    A WSS comprises a switching array that operates on light that has been dispersed in wavelength without the requirement that the dispersed light be physically demultiplexed into separate ports. This is termed a 'disperse and switch' configuration. Wavelength selective switching components are used in WDM optical communications networks to route (switch) signals between optical fibres on a per-wavelength basis. Unlike traditional fixed filters or static OADMs, a WSS allows remote. In optical communication, WSS refers to a wavelength selective switch (Wavelength Selective Switch).

  • Optical Path Subsystem Dispersion Compensation Module

    Optical Path Subsystem Dispersion Compensation Module

    FS FMT Series Dispersion Compensation Module is engineered to correct optical signals deformed by chromatic dispersion. Therefore, the impact of dispersion on WDM systems is as follows: intersymbol interference (ISI); mode partition noise; interaction with nonlinear effects. It is designed to counteract the spreading of optical pulses as they travel through standard single-mode fiber (SMF), where different wavelengths of light propagate at. There are mainly two kinds of dispersion in fiber optical transmission, Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and Chromatic Dispersion (CD). Most parameters depend on the length of the optical fibre, as well as how many system elements must be used to obtain the intended number and size of transmission over. GAOTek C-Band Compensation Raman Fiber Amplifier is the ASE and the accumulation of spontaneous radiation noise caused by many cascade connections, will reduce the Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) greatly in system receiving end and thus limit the transmission volume and the non-transceiver distance.
