As the speed of optical networks grow and as switching functions are increasingly pushed into the optical layer, demands for Dynamic Signal Control (DSC) technology become enormous. We have determined that DSC mainly includes the following technologies:

Dynamic polarization control
Dynamic power control
Dynamic timing and phase control
Dynamic dispersion control

DSC technology plays a critical role in the deployment of next-generation optical networks because of its capability of restoring the integrity of optical signals when they travel at high bit rates (over 10 Gb/s) and/or for long distances (over 300 kilometers). DSC based products can also dynamically conduct gain flattening, add/drop wavelengths and control the timing of optical transmission in order to enable all-optical networks. As of today, very few products in the DSC category are available to fulfill the needs of network growth. General Photonics is positioned to be a leader in DSC technology by providing an array of key dynamic signal control products.
