The low-cost Olson Model OTOT-EM55X 1550nm
Externally Modulated CATV Optical Transmitter uses a
low-noise, narrow bandwidth, CW laser as a light source.
The external modulator amplitude modulates the light,
allowing the transmitter to eliminate the chirp associated
with 1550nm direct modulation lasers. Ideal for FTTx
networks (Up to 60km typical) and other multipoint
distribution networks. The OTOT-EM55X provides wide
bandwidth from 47MHz to 862MHz. It also offers superb
stability over the full operating temperature range from
0°C to +50°C.
Direct modulation 1550nm CATV transmitters suffer from
the effects of dispersion that can occur even in modest
length fiber runs (10-20km). The key degradation is CSO
caused by the laser chirp. In networks using an EDFA, the
output fiber optical launch power must also be closely
regulated to avoid performance degradation of due to
SBS. Olson’s Externally Modulated CATV transmitter can
compensate for these types of distortion, allowing for
high quality signal transmission of multiple CATV chan-
nels for distances up to 60km or more.
The OTOT-EM55X fixed SBS suppression allows up to
+16.5dBm of light to be launched into a fiber with none of
the deleterious effects of the SBS nonlinearity.
The transmitter is enclosed in a 19" wide, 1RU rack
chassis for using in a standard EIA 19" rack. Front panel
controls and a LCD display allow the user to quickly
monitor and control system parameters. Optical connec-
tors are SC/APC standard, with an option for FC/APC
connectors. Single AC and DC power supply options are
available.
