The Benchtop Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) amplifies optical signals across the EDFA window (1528 to 1610 nm). Through optimization of amplifier gain, noise figure, and saturated output power, the EDFA will expand your test capabilities in systems, components or sub-assembly manufacturing as well as research and development (R&D) environments. The amplifier incorporates a unique design to produce maximum signal gain and saturated output power in the 1550 and 1590 nm test bands while minimizing noise figure. It features a user-friendly front panel housing an LCD displaying input/output power, current control and an optical interface. The amplifier is offered in C-band, L-band and C+L-band versions and pre-amplifier, booster, or in-line amplifier configurations. The Benchtop models provide specialized variants and optical performance not available in the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) line. Additional EDFA models are available in the MAP EDFA product line.
