Cranbury, N.J., July 1, 2004
Princeton Lightwave, Inc. (PLI), a leading supplier
of specialized optical sources, detectors and detection
sub-systems, announced the addition of switched,
multi-port capability within its line of Optical Channel
Monitors (OCM) that it purchased from OFS in April,
2004.
System designers have commonly shared OCMs between
monitored network elements by using a 1xN optical switch
that is assembled along with the OCM on a performance
monitoring circuit pack, requiring the system designer
to specify the 1xN switch as a separate component,
develop the control software, and often calibrate the
additional losses through the switch path. With the
multi-port feature built into and calibrated as a part
of the OCM, customers can benefit from a higher level of
integration and the opportunity for improved overall
power measurement accuracy.
“A 4-Port version of our OCM was developed and
qualified last year and has been shipping as an
established product to a major system equipment
customer”, said Richard Ramsey, Product Line Manager
“The OCM design platform has been proven over the
years in thousands of delivered products. The addition
of high performance switching between multiple ports
further advances the functionality of this product,
bringing greater value to our customers”.
