NFOEC, Baltimore, July 9, 2001—JDS Uniphase Corporation (Nasdaq: JDSU and TSE: JDU) today announced a Receiver Module with integrated Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for use in 10 Gb/s fiberoptic telecommunication systems. Compared with designs based on separate, discrete components for AGC, the receiver features superior performance over a wider dynamic range and offers savings in space allocation and cost.
Increasingly complex networks use optical amplifiers, add/drop modules, and other components that contribute to optical power fluctuations and noise in the receiver. The integrated AGC function provides improved threshold control to better differentiate between “0’s and 1’s” in the optical signal under conditions of varying input power and signal noise. In some applications, the high gain of the AGC receiver eliminates the need for a limiting amplifier.
Availability The 10 Gb/s AGC Receiver is now available in either PIN or APD models for sample quantities. Pricing and specific delivery information can be obtained through JDS Uniphase representatives.
