Optical Performance Monitor
Optoplex Optical performance monitor (OPM) uses proprietary thin-film interference filter technology combined with a micro-actuator and high-speed electronics. Optical performance monitor is used to measure critical information data on optical transmission signals in DWDM networks for monitoring signal dynamics, determining system functionality, identifying performance change, and providing feedback for controlling network elements so as to optimise operational performance. In particular, Optoplex Optical performance monitor can automatically scan the C-, L- or C+L-band wavelength range and precisely measure channel wavelength and power. See the following schematic diagram for OPM working principle.Features
