Abstract :
This paper describes the design philosophy and the experimental results of the optical submarine repeater for the OS-280M optical fiber submarine cable system to be installed across the ocean. This repeater which employs the information rate of 280 Mbit/s, the optical wavelength of 1.3 μ, and is implemented with monolithic ICs, features high reliability, long repeater spans, and the supervisory systems. The test results show that the average optical output power is - 1.4 dBm for the mark density of 1/2, the minimum average power of the optical input for the BER 10 is about -38 dBm at the room temperature, and other specifications are also well satisfied.
