EDFA Gain Block for DWDM Applications
Key Features
• Operating wavelength window: 1543-1558 nm • Gain flatness < ± 0.5dB • Low noise figure, typ. <5.5 dB • +13 dBm output power • Input and output monitor diodes • Operation temperature range: -5 °C to 70 °C • Multisourced footprint • Small size (120x80x15 mm)
Applications
• Booster amplifier in single-channel or DWDM networks
Description
The DWDM gain block is intended to be used as a booster amplifier in WDM/ DWDM networks. The gain block has input and output power monitoring. The input and output ports have isolators to attenuate spurious reflections in the system. External electronic circutry is needed for biasing the pump laser and for controlling the pump laser temperature. Heat sink is provided via the bottom surface.
