Description
The W1724-Type Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has been designed for use in DWDM applications and offers the following performance features:
■ Flat gain profile over a wide temperature range
■ Low noise figure
■ High output power
■ Automatic gain lock
The versatile W1724-Type EDFA operates over a wide temperature range, exhibits extremely low power dissipation, and offers a variety of alarms and monitors. Optimum performance and system stability are supported through the use of optical isolation at the input and output. Optical input and output are through single-mode fiber pigtails terminated with optical connectors.
