The gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is specifically designed for fiber laser and fiber-optic communication systems. It simultaneously amplifies multi-wavelength signals across the C-band with excellent gain flatness, available in three configurations — Pre-Amplifier (PA-GF), Booster-Amplifier (BA-GF) and Line-Amplifier (LA-GF). Output power, control mode (ACC/APC/AGC), fiber type (SMF-28 / PM1550) and packaging (benchtop / module) are customizable on request.
Features
- Excellent gain flatness across the C-band
- High gain & wide operating wavelength (1530–1565 nm)
- ACC / APC / AGC control modes with input/output power monitoring
Applications
- Fiber-optic communication (multi-wavelength / DWDM)
- Fiber sensing
- Fiber laser systems
