Abstract

As a result of the overwhelming demand for bandwidth, the number of channels offered in commercially available DWDM systems has climbed from 8 to 160 in just a few short years. With the growth in channel counts comes increasing demands placed upon optical amplifiers for the long haul market. High powers, flatter gain profiles, extended bandwidths (both C- and L-band), dispersion compensation, longer distances and greater control at the optical level are all capabilities that future networks will require. Today's optical amplifiers must be capable of supporting these services in advance of their installation to prepare networks for these foreseeable demands. Optigain's expertise and focus on optical amplifiers for the telecommunications industry has enabled it to achieve a technology leadership position in the field of optical amplification. Optigain's leadership position in the development of high power amplifiers based upon fiber laser technology will permit the Company to obtain favorable pricing and to gain significant market share in high growth markets. Figures 1 and 2 show the EDFA future global market shares.
