O-Band Bismuth-doped Fiber Amplifier (Multi-Channel)
Amonics’ O-band Bismuth-doped fiber amplifier (BDFA) uses bismuth-doped fiber as the gain medium. The multi-channel BDFA features flattened gain across the operating wavelength range and very low noise figure. The silica-based Bismuth-doped fiber offers the similar fundamental advantages as erbium-doped fiber used for amplification in the C and L bands.
The turnkey microprocessor-controlled BDFAs provide illustrative alarms and status indicators. An integrated RS232 computer interface enables easy control, diagnostic functions and data acquisition.
