Avanex to Supply Tunable Dispersion Compensation Modules for Submarine System Terminals - Zibb.com
FREMONT, Calif., Sep 23, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Avanex Corporation (NASDAQ:AVNX), a pioneering provider of intelligent photonic solutions that enable next-generation optical networks, today announced that it has successfully validated the performance of its PowerShaper tunable dispersion compensation (TDC) modules for use in submarine network terminals. Avanex is working with submarine equipment vendors to implement a high performance dispersion management solution. The TDC's flexible controls compensate for up to 2000 ps/nm of residual dispersion at the receiver for each 10 Gbps transmission channel.
The Avanex PowerShaper PS3200 TDC is specifically designed to meet the greater compensation requirements of long submarine routes. The reach of these submarine routes often pushes the transmission system to its longest limits. Any uncompensated impairments will interfere with error-free transmission.
The PowerShaper TDC family manages dispersion continuously over a wide optical pass-band using patented, thermally tuned, solid-state optical etalons. The TDC combines low phase error, low group delay ripple, and all-pass amplitude performance with precise, stable control electronics and a feature-rich control language, all in a compact form factor.
"Transmission systems must be designed around a chromatic dispersion budget for both fixed and variable dispersion sources," said Richard Smart, General Manager of Advanced Module and Subsystem Products at Avanex. "Long distance submarine systems can benefit by combining fixed dispersion compensation modules with tunable dispersion compensation. While most of the link dispersion can be compensated by fixed fiber modules, management of residual and variable dispersion is greatly simplified with a TDC that compensates for a wide range of dispersion values."
An additional application occurs in a repair situation where immediate, on-site TDC adjustments can eliminate the need for additional link engineering and stocking an inventory of spare dispersion compensation modules with specific values.
Scott Parker, Senior Vice President of Sales at Avanex, commented, "Error-free system performance relies on effective compensation of network impairments. Avanex is proud to offer the industry's most capable and responsive TDC modules to meet the demanding dispersion compensation requirements of long reach submarine systems."
Avanex's TDC products will be on display in the Avanex booth at ECOC Expo 2008, September 22-24, stand 94-97.

StrataLight Communications, Inc. and Avanex(R) to Develop and Test 100 Gbps Optical Networking
FREMONT, CA, Sep 23, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
StrataLight Communications, Inc. (StrataLight), the leader in commercial deployment of 40 Gbps optical transmission subsystems announced today that it will work with Avanex Corporation (NASDAQ: AVNX), a pioneering provider of intelligent photonic solutions enabling next-generation optical networks, to demonstrate 100 Gbps network traffic in a state-of-the-art network testbed.
The system configuration in the StrataLight testbed facility will be operational in the fourth calendar quarter of 2008. The testbed will be used to verify the propagation performance of StrataLight's 100 Gbps transponder technology. It will include traffic on 90 wavelengths in the C-band to confirm the practicality of a record-breaking 9 Terabit-per-second network transmission system.
Richard Smart, General Manager of Advanced Module and Subsystem Products at Avanex, commenting on this joint activity, said, "As the market leader in commercial deployment of 40 Gbps optical transmission subsystems, StrataLight is well-positioned to develop the next generation of optical sub-systems running at 100 Gbps. We appreciate StrataLight's selection of Avanex amplifiers and dispersion compensation products to facilitate the successful system testing of this network breakthrough."
Avanex will be supplying dispersion compensation modules (DCM) based on its proven, reliable fiber-based technology. These modules compensate for accumulated chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope. DCMs are deployed along the span at intervals to counterbalance the inherent dispersion build-up.
Avanex is also supplying high performance, gain-flattened optical amplifiers to increase network reach with a minimum of added noise. The tests will be conducted over a 1500 km total length of 100 km spans.
Roberto Marcoccia, Vice President of Advanced Technology at StrataLight, added, "Avanex is the industry-leading source for high performance and reliable signal conditioning and amplification devices. Avanex's system level optical component technology allows StrataLight to test our next-generation 100 Gbps transponders over a state-of-the-art optical line system."
About StrataLight: StrataLight Communications is the leader in commercial deployment of ultra high capacity optical transmission subsystems with line rates in excess of 40 Gbps. StrataLight Communications enables service providers to address the growing demand for bandwidth driven by IP converged services using their existing fiber network infrastructure. Our products are sold to service providers by optical networking (OEM) partners. For more information, please visit www.StrataLight.com.
