How does the Silicon Light Machines 2200 DGE compare to competitive products?
A. The Silicon Light Machines 2200 DGE is superior to competitive offerings in its ability to equalize power levels with an unprecedented degree of accuracy and and its ability support any channel count (or channel spacing). Q. Why is it so important to have the flattest possible spectrum? A. A flatter DWDM power spectrum gives carriers tighter control over the performance of a network – enabling them to increase the overall distance of transmission and improving the bit-error rate. At the same time, a flat power spectrum can decrease the cost of a DWDM system by reducing the total number of amplifiers needed to monitor and maintain signals – allowing for more simple and cost-effective amplifier designs. Q. What is meant by “spectrally-seamless?” A. Due to the miniscule spacing between the ribbons on a GLV device, it has no “blind spots” – making it spectrally continuous. This means that the Silicon Light Machines 2200 DGE can operate effectively, regardless of the channel count or cha
