3.Core functional characteristics

Functional Module Technical Description System Value

Distributed Raman amplification utilizes the nonlinear effects of optical fibers to directly provide signal gain in fiber optic lines.Compared to centralized EDFA, it can significantly improve the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and extend the transmission distance

The C-band supports operation in the C-band (1529-1561 nm) and is compatible with mainstream DWDM systems.It is suitable for traditional C-band wavelength division systems and can be seamlessly integrated with existing equipment

The backward pumping mode adopts the backward pumping method, and the pump light and signal light are transmitted in reverse to effectively reduce the influence of pump noise on the signal, achieving better OSNR performance and suitable for multi span systems

High pump output power outputs high-power Raman pump laser, up to 1.2W (31 dBm), providing sufficient distributed gain for long-distance optical fibers and compensating for transmission losses

Pump power control supports continuous adjustable pump power, software can set target power to adapt to different link conditions, optimize gain and nonlinear balance

When the reflected light power exceeds 15 dBm, the laser will be automatically turned off to prevent high-power reflection from damaging the laser or causing damage to the fiber end face

Online optical performance monitoring provides MON monitoring port, which can be connected to an external spectral analyzer to monitor signal spectrum, optical power, OSNR and other parameters in real time without interrupting business for optical layer performance diagnosis and optimization, improving operation and maintenance efficiency

Real time detection of pump drive current, back current, cooling current, pump temperature, and board ambient temperature through alarm and performance monitoring;Support comprehensive monitoring of equipment health through return loss detection and early warning of potential faults

Pump redundancy design with built-in dual pump lasers, supporting 1+1 hot backup to maintain amplification capability even in the event of a single pump failure, enhancing system reliability

8.Application scenarios

Core Value of Application Scenario Deployment Method

The C-band ultra long distance backbone transmission is deployed in fiber optic lines, providing distributed Raman amplification with a maximum pump power of 1.2W, significantly extending the distance of non electric relay transmission and reducing the construction of relay stations

The submarine cable system serves as a Raman amplification unit with ultra-low noise coefficient and pump redundancy design at the submarine cable landing station or relay station, meeting the requirements of high reliability and long life for submarine cable systems

The low-noise characteristics of Raman amplification with hybrid amplification structure composed of EDFA amplification and EDU/OBU EDFA cards can effectively improve the system OSNR and support high-order modulation formats

The multi span system adopts a backward pumping mode, combined with line amplification to optimize the OSNR of each span and improve overall system performance

High reliability is required for the link, which utilizes pump redundancy and automatic shutdown of reflected light to enhance system robustness.Dual pump hot backup ensures that amplification capability can be maintained even in the event of a single pump failure, without interrupting business operations

9.Maintenance and ordering information

Project Information

Component code TN11SRAU (specific version such as TN11SRAU01, etc.)

Ordering instructions: When placing an order, it is necessary to confirm the fiber type to determine the applicable gain range

High power laser safety warning for on-site operation: Strictly follow laser safety regulations during operation, and use interlock switches or network management to turn off the pump before operation

After testing and verifying installation, pump power calibration, reflected light detection, amplification performance testing, and pump redundancy switching testing are required

Spare parts management, as the core component of ultra long distance transmission, is recommended to configure spare parts at critical nodes

Software dependency requires support from the host software version (V100R003C00 and above)

Compatibility needs to be used in conjunction with FIU boards (such as TN14FIU/TN16FIU) and EDFA

Core Summary:

TN11SRAU is a super Raman amplification unit board designed specifically for C-band ultra long distance transmission on the OSN 9800 platform.Through distributed Raman amplification technology, it directly provides signal gain in fiber optic lines, achieving lower noise figure and longer transmission distance than traditional EDFA.It adopts a fixed backward pumping mode, with a pump power of up to 1.2W (31 dBm), providing 15-22dB Raman gain on G.652 fiber and 26dB on G.654E fiber.The board integrates advanced safety and reliability mechanisms such as dual pump 1+1 hot backup, reflected light automatic shutdown, and front panel interlock switch, ensuring the safety of high-power operation and high availability of the system.

Core values and positioning:

Ultra long distance transmission core: Maximum pump power of 1.2W, effective noise figure<-2.5dB, supports ultra long span transmission.

High reliability design: Dual pump 1+1 hot backup, able to maintain amplification capability even in the event of a single pump failure, ensuring uninterrupted business operations.

Excellent noise performance: ultra-low effective noise figure, can significantly improve system OSNR when mixed with EDFA.

Mature backward pump: Classic backward pump design, compatible with existing C-band systems, easy to deploy.

Complete security mechanism: reflected light automatically shuts off, front panel interlock switch, protecting personnel and equipment safety.

Application suggestion:

This board is suitable for scenarios that require C-band ultra long distance transmission, high OSNR requirements, and high reliability, such as backbone networks, submarine cable systems, and multi span trunk lines. During deployment, it is necessary to select the appropriate pump power based on the fiber type and use it in conjunction with the FIU board and EDFA, strictly following the safety operation regulations for high-power lasers. For scenarios with low pump power requirements or no need for redundancy, TN51RPC or TN11CRPC are more cost-effective choices.
