We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical network",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Optical spectrum analyser finds the true SNR from
JDSU, which we summarised at the time by saying "The JDSU OSA-320 module has been engineered to test optical performance in the Agile Optical Network".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Laboratory resources offered in portable package from
JDSU: "The ONT-503 is suitable for users who share resources and need to use one test instrument across different departments and sites".
In October 2007, we covered the news from JDSU
concerning its TLS-55 Smart Optical tester
- take a look at Optical tester suits ROADM networks
which says: "The TLS-55 Smart Optical tester provides a highly accurate method for measuring the true optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) in reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) networks".
Take a look also at the news release from Pirelli Broadband Solutions, Broadband company expands coverage,
as well as Time is right for Synchronous Ethernet from Zarlink Semiconductor,
and Serdes supplies flexibility in optical networking from Micrel.
