INTRODUCTION
The Olson Technology, Inc. LaserPlus Model LP-OA Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) is a cost-effective, full
featured Optical Amplifier compatible with the LaserPlus product line manufactured by Olson Technology, Inc. De-
signed for optical amplification of CATV or L-Band signals, the LP-OA EDFA is ideal for CATV Hybrid Fiber Coax
(HFC) applications and Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) deployments using Active/Passive Optical Network (AON/PON)
architectures. The LP-OA offers simple plug and play operation,
The Model LP-OA EDFA utilizes a high-quality, EDFA gain module that provides optical output powers ranging from
+13dBm to +18dBm at the rated optical input power of +3dBm over a wavelength range from 1540nm to 1560nm. The
EDFA has low electrical power dissipation. That maximizes reliability by minimizing self-heating.

GENERAL FEATURES
The LP-OA includes five front panel indicators for Optical Input Power, Optical Output Power, Laser Temperature,
Pump Enable and Pump Status that allow the health of the unit to be assessed at a glance. The unit also provides exten-
sive SNMP capability that includes the ability to read the following parameters; Optical Input Power, Optical Output
Power, Module Temperature, Pump Laser Current, Pump Laser Power, Pump Laser Temperature and alarms for High
Current, High Temperature, Temperature Stable and Laser Enable.
