in-band OSNR embedded sensor product information

The Solution to your Monitoring Problems!

All on less than a dime!

The in-band OSNR embedded sensor enables OEMs to address current limitations in traditional out-of-band monitoring techniques: they cannot measure OSNR accurately in optical networks with Reconfigurable OADMs (ROADM), higher bit-rates (40Gbps) or denser channel plans (50Ghz).

mdi’s patented technology provides a true in-band OSNR measurement that can fit within the traditional
foot-print of optical channel performance monitors and that does not include moving mechanical parts.

Highlights

Sensor addresses current limitations of traditional OSNR measurement techniques
True in-band OSNR measurement using low frequency beat noise
Multiple modulation formats and bit-rates supported
Hardware reference design available for 50GHz and 100GHz WDM channel plans
Powerful and lightweight signal processing software available in form of DSP

Benefits

Compatible with optically transparent ROADM networks
Small foot-print ideally suited for integration into amplifier and monitoring cards
Monitoring of mixed 10G/40G traffic with common sensor
Cost effective sensor with low-frequency optical receivers; no moving mechanical parts
Save on future monitoring upgrades to cope with new modulation formats
