All of the components are available for order immediately. The Raman suite is designed to meet cost and performance requirements for the practical deployment of Raman amplifiers in long-haul transmission applications. Noise levels are typically lower and transmission distances are further for Raman amplification compared to EDFA, Raman amplification is fault-tolerant due to its distributed nature, and Raman amplification can be used across the C, L and S bands. Also, Raman amplification does not require specially doped fibers to amplify light signals.
Raman amplification is a key enabling technology in the optical networks of the future.
