Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibogain ERFA series of EDFA modules and instruments make use of the optical gain in an Erbium-doped fiber that is pumped by either 980 nm or 1480 nm light sources. Thus, incoming light of a longer wavelength in the C- or L-band is amplified and enhances the transmission span of fiber optic links.
EDFAs typically operate in saturation, and the average power of a signal determines the average gain. Bit to bit dynamics or inter-channel crosstalk in DWDM-systems do not change the dynamics of an EDFA. This also enables the amplification of channel-bundles within the entire emission wavelength range of Erbium superimposing simple single-channel links. The average output power in both cases is determined by the saturation power of the specific EDFA design however.
The majority of EDFAs is applied in fiberoptic links. Other applications can also be found - mainly in fiberoptic test & measurement setups and other instruments that include eye-safe free space measurement installations.
