The Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) has generated a lot of interest in both optical communication industry and research community because of their inherent ability to directly amplify signals in the optical domain. Optiwave has developed one such optical amplifier based on EDF. These amplifiers are available in different models to suit the customer's specific requirements. The unit is available in three different versions viz., 1U Rack mountable that can be easily fixed in any standard 19" racks, Gain block (MSA) that can be used as a bench-top model and Pump driver provided with only the pump drive electronics.

Features

	The required model can be selected based on customer requirement.
	The small signal gain can be up to +35 dB.
	The available output powers are from +10 to +23 dBm.
	Provision for co-propagating and counter-propagating of pump power.
	The unit is provided with RS232 interface, LAN interface along with SNMP capabilities.
	The user can set the required output power or define the pump laser drive conditions.
	The unit is provided with redundant power supply, AC mains (90 to 250 V, 50 ± 2 Hz) or -48 ± 4 V or +5V.
