Description
The 1724-Type Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier
(EDFA) has been designed for use in a variety of
applications and is available in application-specific
versions:
s
Designed for use in single-channel or video applications, the
standard 1724-Type EDFA incorporates a DB-25 connector
and a microcontroller with TTL compatible alarm monitoring.
S Series for single-channel, preamplifier applica-
tions (see Table 4, page 6, for performance specifi-
cations)
— High gain
— Low noise figure
V Series for video, analog, or booster applications
(see Table 5, page 6, for performance specifica-
tions)
— Supports a wide range of output powers
— Low noise figure
— Low power dissipation
— Adjustable output power
