Functional Module Technical Description System Value

The low-noise preamplifier adopts an optimized design of erbium-doped fiber amplifier to amplify weak signals with low noise and improve the OSNR at the receiving end, which is the key to ensuring the performance of long-distance transmission systems

Adjustable gain supports software adjustment of amplifier gain values (typical range 15-25 dB) to flexibly adapt to different line losses and reception requirements, simplifying engineering planning

The OSC channel processing has built-in OSC multiplexing and demultiplexing function, which separates/merges the optical monitoring channel from the main optical signal to ensure independent transmission of out of band monitoring channels and achieve uninterrupted network management communication for business

Automatic power control (APC) supports constant output power mode, automatically adjusts pump power to maintain stable output power and cope with input power fluctuations, ensuring stable operation of subsequent units

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) supports constant gain mode, automatically adjusts output according to changes in input power, and flexibly adapts to different work scenarios

Low noise design noise factor ≤ 4.5 dB (typical value) to minimize amplifier degradation of signal-to-noise ratio

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

8.Application scenarios

Core Value of Application Scenario Deployment Method

The long-distance trunk receiving end is deployed before the OTM station splitter as a preamplifier to amplify weak signals with extremely low noise, improve the receiving OSNR, and ensure long-distance transmission performance

The receiving side of the ROADM node is located within the ROADM node.Before the line signal enters the splitter, the ROADM module and line losses are compensated to ensure the quality of the received signal

High sensitivity receiving systems are deployed in scenarios that require extremely high receiving sensitivity, such as ultra long distances and submarine cables, by using low-noise amplification to reduce the requirements for receiver sensitivity or extend the transmission distance

The data center interconnection receiving end is used as a PA at the DCI link receiving end to ensure the quality of the received signal and reduce the bit error rate

9.Maintenance and ordering information

Project Information

Component code TN11RAU1 (specific versions such as TN11RAU101, etc.)

Ordering instructions: When placing an order, it is necessary to confirm the working band (C-band) and OSC wavelength

On site operation supports hot plugging, and anti-static wrist straps should be worn during operation.Pay attention to cleaning the fiber optic connectors

After testing and verifying installation, gain calibration, power testing, and OSC channel connectivity testing are required

Spare parts management, as the core board of the receiving end, is recommended to configure spare parts at critical nodes of the network

Core Summary:

TN11RAU1 is a front-end optical amplifier board designed for the C-band receiving end in the OSN 9800 platform.Its core advantage lies in its extremely low noise figure (≤4.5dB), which is specifically optimized for low-noise amplification of weak signals.It is a key component to ensure the receiving performance of long-distance transmission systems.

Core values and positioning:

Extremely low noise: ≤ 4.5dB noise figure, minimizing amplifier degradation of signal OSNR.

Receiver specific optimization: optimized for weak signal amplification scenarios, with a gain range of 15-25dB and moderate output power.

Flexible adaptation: APC/AGC dual-mode, adjustable gain, suitable for different line conditions.

Integrated OSC and monitoring: Built in OSC multiplexing and comprehensive pump/environment monitoring, simplifying system design and improving maintainability.

Application suggestion:

This board is a standard preamplifier for the C-band receiving end in the OSN 9800 wavelength division system, especially suitable for long-distance trunk lines, ROADM node receiving sides, submarine cable systems, and other scenarios that require high receiving sensitivity. During deployment, it is necessary to set the gain reasonably based on the output power of the line and combine it with iMaster NCE to achieve automated operation and maintenance of the optical layer. For the requirement of expanding the C-band, the corresponding preamplifier board (such as TN12RAU1) can be selected.
