Chapter 4 Optical Amplifier Cards
4.1.1 Card Summary
• Optical Booster Enhanced amplifier (OPT-BST-E)
• Optical Booster L-Band amplifier (OPT-BST-L)
• Optical L-Band preamplifier (OPT-AMP-L)
• Optical C-Band amplifier (OPT-AMP-17-C).
• Optical C-band high-gain high-power amplicier (OPT-AMP-C)
Note The OPT-AMP-L preamplifier, OPT-AMP-C and OPT-AMP-17-C amplifiers are software-configurable
as a preamplifier or as a booster amplifier.
Optical amplifier card architecture includes an optical plug-in module with a controller that manages
optical power, laser current, and temperature control loops. An amplifier also manages communication
with the TCC2/TCC2P card and operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P)
functions such as provisioning, controls, and alarms.
4.1.1 Card Summary
Table 4-1 lists and summarizes the functions of each optical amplifier card.
