EDFA-11-9/125 EDFA Module

Super-fast, Auto Gain Controlled; Fiber Pigtail 9/125 µm; 1529.16-1558.58 nm; Input Power -19--11 dBm; Output Power 5-13 dBm

OZ Optics’ super-fast Erbium-doped fiber amplifier module EDFA-11-9/125 was developed to address fast transient conditions with sub-μs suppression time. In a WDM transmission line, the addition or removal of channels may cause a transient, to which the EDFA must respond. In response to a sudden change of input power, an EDFA will exhibit transient response, i.e. overshoot or undershoot in its output signal. With a typical EDFA, this transient response can last on the order of 100 μs.

OZ Optics’ super-fast Erbium-doped fiber amplifier module EDFA-11-9/125 features a typical transient suppression time of 50 ns and is designed to be used in the traditional C-band. During operation, the signal wavelengths must be confined to a 3.2 nm region for each optical amplifier, although the band may be anywhere within the C-band. The unit can work with up to four channels.

Due to the nature of the narrowband operation, the transient suppression of the super-fast EDFA module is greatly improved, compared to a traditional EDFA.
