Atlas
Optical Amplifier
Dual EDFAs with dynamic gain equalization in a single module
Atlas is a compact module housing two dynamically equalized Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers, making it an ideal solution for DWDM amplification in telecom, datacom, and CATV networks.
Delivering up to 20 or 23 dBm per amplifier, Atlas provides low noise, minimal gain ripple, and stable signal amplification across the C-band.
Built on PhotonPath’s proprietary low-loss SiON platform, it integrates key optical functions to reduce system cost and complexity while enhancing scalability.

Applications & Network Impact
The integration of a Dynamic Gain Equalization (DGE) into smart Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) unlocks significant cost-saving opportunities for optical transmission networks.
By dynamically equalizing gain across the C-band, these advanced amplifiers can replace conventional architectures that rely on separate booster, in-line, and pre-amplifier stages simplifying network design while reducing equipment count, power consumption, and operational costs.

Atlas Optical Amplifier
Performance
Atlas is a compact smart EDFA that integrates two high-performance optical amplifiers and a photonic-based Dual Dynamic Gain Equalizer into a single, compact module.
Principe of Operation
PhotonPath Dual EDFA is based on reconfigurable Dynamic Equalizers realized in our proprie-tary integrated photonic platform with ultra-low losses. The key differentiation is the ability to compensate for several spectral profiles, thus covering a wide operational mask while keeping a low Noise Figure (NF).
