SAN DIEGO, March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- OFC 2020 -- Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (FEC) announces it has developed FRSi4XX Series pump sources for forward Raman amplifiers that extend transmission distances in ultrahigh-speed optical fiber communications farther than conventional systems.

Key Points: 
  • SAN DIEGO, March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- OFC 2020 -- Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (FEC) announces it has developed FRSi4XX Series pump sources for forward Raman amplifiers that extend transmission distances in ultrahigh-speed optical fiber communications farther than conventional systems.
  • Furukawa Electric's new FRSi4XX Series novel pump sources make it possible to realize forward Raman amplifiers and feature high output as well as excellent low-noise characteristics.
  • The FRSi4XX pump series reduces noise by about 20 dB/Hz compared with conventional pump sources for Raman amplifiers.
  • Combining the FRSi4XX Series with existing FOL1439 Series, yield pump sources especially well-suited to forward pumping Raman amplifiers.
