What is Middle Stage Access EDFA Optical Amplifier?
910 2022-05-15
With the application of long-distance systems becoming more and more extensive, HTF self-developed middle stage access (MSA) EDFA, middle stage access (MSA) EDFA can effectively solve the insertion loss caused by DCM and OADM, offset the DCM and OADM. The resulting insertion loss reduces the additional degradation of the system OSNR.

Middle stage access (MSA) EDFA models include an additional mid-stage port designed for insertion of a Dispersion Compensation Management (DCM) unit without its inherent insertion loss. 

The design of these models maximizes the DCM benefits to increase deployment flexibility.New placement options require fewer amplifiers in the link, and they can open the door to applications that were not possible with older technology.
