1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the installation and operation
of the EDFA-PA-LN-M modular erbium doped fiber amplifier
(EDFA) unit.
1.2 Product Overview
The Optilab EDFA-PA-LN-M Pre-Amp EDFA is a high-gain, easy-
to-use and cost-efficient solution for photonic subsystems, OEM
integration, and fiber optic system integration. Using a high gain
design, this module provides 50 dB nominal gain with a low noise
figure and is designed to amplify signal with a low input level as low
as -50 dBm. Pump laser protection and alarms are equipped to
ensure the reliability and safety of the device. The module requires
a single ±5 Volt DC power supply for operation that comes included
with each EDFA-PA-LN-M as well as a standard with a three-year
warranty.
1.3 Features
•High optical gain of over 50 dB at 1550nm
•Low noise figure
•Designed for low input level (as low as -50 dBm)
•Variable wavelength operation range
•Modular Design for OEM Integration
1.4 User Safety
1. The EDFA-PA-LN-M unit emits high intensity invisible light from the
optical output receptacle. Avoid direct exposure to skin and eyes.
2. The module case is fully certified for EMS protection. The user should
never open the module case; any attempt will void the warranty and
may result in electric shock and EMS attack to equipment in the
vicinity.
3. The user should avoid using any solvent or vaporizing chemical to
clean the exterior. It may result in damage to the surface and internal
circuits.
