Don't faint. SDL made a few changes to its website! sdli.com First time I've seen any mention of this award: >>>>> SDL FIBER AMPLIFIER RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 NEW PRODUCTS AT OFC 2000 On March 7, 2000, SDL's new family of high-powered telecommunications grade optical amplifiers was recognized by the organizers of the annual Optical Fiber Communication (OFC 2000) tradeshow in Baltimore, Maryland as one of the top 10 new products announced at the show. OFC, which is sponsored by the Optical Society of America (OSA), is the major North American exhibit and technical conference on optical fiber communications systems, networks, components and applications. Each year the conference staff recognizes ten new products as being exceptional for their intended application. The SDL-FM30 family of amplifiers is designed for use in dense wavelength division multiplex (DWDM) systems, metro free-space transmission and Cable TV (CATV) systems. The FM30-1 cladding pumped fiber optical amplifier is designed to provide 1 Watt of optical power through a single fiber and the FM30-8 amplifier is designed to provide 800 mW of optical power split among eight fibers. "This year's OFC was an exceptional tradeshow for SDL." said Don Scifres, chief executive officer for SDL, Inc. "At the show we announced eleven new products for telecommunications applications and were also very active in the technical program, highlighting our advanced technology efforts. Being recognized by the OSA as having one of the top new products at the show reinforces our leadership position in the fiber optic component industry." The FM30-1 offers up to 1 Watt (30 dBm) of output power versus typical telecom grade EDFAs which only provide up to 200 mW of output power. Cladding pumped fiber technology used in the FM30-1 is expected to provide higher optical power more economically than existing technology, further enabling networks to increase capacity, especially in repeaterless submarine systems, single-span terrestrial links, or in metro free-space transmission applications. The FM30-8 enables new advances in high power optical amplification architectures for broadband CATV distribution systems. Typically, a single erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is required to provide amplification to each receiver location. The FM30-8 allows the system designer to use one amplifier module to transmit amplified broadband data to eight receiver locations. This split output amplifier is designed for applications requiring the distribution of data to multiple locations such as broadband CATV transmission.
