Add / Drop Option

Combining the Add/Drop box with our ASE Comb Source allows for an even broader range of applications. The Add/Drop box filters out one or more fixed channels depending on the customer’s request.

• Allows the replacement of these missing channels with real data carrying channels
• Modulated channels can be used for Bit-Error Rate testing
• Easy monitoring of Four-Wave Mixing

Applications

• Simultaneously measure optical amplifier gain flatness and noise figure under conditions of full channel loading (high peak-to-valley extinction ratio extends NF measurement capability to high-power booster amplifiers)
