Agere Systems Announces Industry's First Raman Pump Laser for Undersea Optical Networks

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Agere Systems, a provider of communications semiconductors, announced the industry's first undersea pump laser for Raman amplification in ultra-high-capacity submarine optical networks.     Raman amplification boosts the strength of communications signals traveling through optical fiber more effectively than current amplification techniques, thereby allowing longer distances between amplifying devices. That, in-turn, reduces the cost of deploying optical networks, especially on undersea routes that require ultra-reliable and therefore more costly amplifying devices, or...Read full article
