Function and BA2

Feature

Basic function Increases the launched optical power of the line board to 13-15 dBm
01'15- 18 dBm. ThllS, when the G.652 optical fiber with a loss of 0.275
dB/km is used, the transmission distance can be 120 km, lJO km, or
aboye.

EOFA Automatically controls the optical power and laser temperature oftbe
EOF A module.
Automatically monitors the input and output optica l power ofthe EOF A
module and qlleries the opti ca l power.
Protects the EOFA module. When no opti cal signals are input, the laser
is automatically tllrned off. When optical signals are input, the laser is
automatically turned 011.

Perfo rmance and Reports the performance parameters of the laser. Provides rich alarms
al ann monitoring and performance events for easy management and maintenance of the
equipment.

Software upgrade Supports the software upgrade and expansion without interrupting
serv ices.

W NOTE

The BA2 provldes the IPA function. When lhe IPA function is enabled. the pumping laser is turned off if
no input signals are detected on the receive end ofthe line board. Thus . this function is llsed to prevent the
hlgh laser power from damaging eyes.

12.1.3 Working PrincipIe and Signal Flow

T he BA2 consists ofthe EOFA module, control module, commun ication module, and OC/OC

EDFA Module
The optical amp lifi er uni t consists of two EDFA modules. One is BA and the o ther PA. When
the board is used as a pre-amplifier (PA), an optical filter with 15 50. 12 nm as the centra l
wave le ngth is added to the optica l ou tput end ofthe module. A booster amplifier (B A) does not
ha ve the fiiter. A semi -conductor laser bump w it h 980 nm as the central wavelength is in the
erbium tib er inside the EDF A modul e. Bump ligh t and input signallight are coup led into the
erbiu m fiber lhrough an optical coupler. The input and output optical signal s of th e module are
Jed o ut by two fi ber splitt ers as per a specific coupling ratio. T he optical signal s are then COn verted
to o pl ica l current by two PIN photoelectri cal diodes. The input and output powers of the EDFA
modu le are determined as per the optical s ignals. The modu le also applies optical isolating
measures at the input and the output ends to improve the performance of the modu le.

Control Module
T he co ntro l module:

o D tects and drives bum p e!ectricity

G Controls the pump temperature of laser
~ D etects input and output power
o Reports ala rms

-;-he control module consists of AID converting unit, DI A converting unit and CPU. The AID
converti ng unit converts the temperature val ue of the coo ling e lectri c ity a nd the inputloutput

EDFA Module
·n lC opl ical amplj-fjcr unit consists oftwo EDFA mod ules. One is BA and the other PA. When
¡b boat"d is lIs ed as a pre-amplifi er (PA ), an optica l fi lter wirh 1550.12 nm as the central
w velength is added to rhe optical outp llt end ofthe module. A booster amplifier (BN) does not
have lhe filt e ·. A semi -cond uctor laser bump with 980 nm as the central wavelength is in the
erbium fib r in sid the EDFA modu le . Bump !¡ght an d input signal light are coupled into the
erb ium fiber through an optical coupler. The in put an d output optical signals ofthe module are
led out by two fiber spl·tt rs as p r a specifi coupling ratio. The optical signals are then converted
to optieal curren! by two P N piloto eetriea diodes. Tlle input and output powers of the EDFA
module are detenn ined as per rhe optieal signals . Tile mod ule also appl ies opti ca l isolating
