Princeton Lightwave ships Optical Channel Monitor with improved OSNR performance.

Cranbury, N.J., March 7, 2005

Princeton Lightwave, Inc.(PLI), a leading supplier of specialized optical sources, detectors and detection sub-systems, announced the improvement of OSNR performance within its line of Optical Channel Monitors (OCM).

PLI has developed advanced algorithms and proprietary fiber grating technology which further improve s the OSNR performance of its 100 GHz and 50 GHz spaced Optical Channel Monitor product line.
Network designers use OSNR as a feedback signal in order to monitor the health of DWDM signals. The capability of a high Optical Signal to Noise Ratio allows users to measure the line shape of channels with high integrity. PLI's 100G OCM module is capable of detecting OSNR equal to 28dB, it makes it the highest performance device in the industry.

"PLI continues to work closely with customers to improve their system performance." said PLI's Product Manager David Jhaveri. He further stated that "the addition of this improved feature brings greater value to our customers. PLI is currently shipping this device in production quantities to the major system equipment manufacturers." The OCM design platform has been proven over the years in more than ten thousand delivered products.
