The Erbium Doped Fiber is one of the greatest success stories of the late 1980's Optical Fiber Revolution and the development of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) became a key component in long distance optical fiber communications.
Our partner Fibercore has been supplying fibers and components for EDFAs for over 20 years and contribute to achieving low noise amplification of optical signals, most commonly across the C-band (1528-1565nm) and increasingly in the L-band (1565nm-1625nm).
Fibercore’s specialty fibers are PM Erbium Doped Fiber, Erbium Doped Fiber IsoGain™, Erbium Doped Fiber MetroGain™ and Erbium Doped Fiber AstroGain™. They are used extensively throughout the World and have been designed to deliver optimum performance across the full spectrum of EDFA applications. Together with Fibercore we have the ability to custom design EDFA fibers, catering to the needs of each individual project by working in partnership with our customers.
Fibercore's GainMaster™ simulation tool identifies optimum system parameters by simultaneous modelling of component variables on the Erbium only doped fibers.
Below are some application notes and further information relating to EDFA fibers.
High Power Amplifiers
• Optimized fibers for very high power amplifiers
• High cut-off fibers for improved efficiency at high powers
• LMA and HC reduce non-linear effects
Micro/Mini EDFA's
• Designed for small form factor, compact coils
• Highly bend insensitive
• High absorption - very short gain-length
Broadband Multichannel EDFAs
• Consistent, standardised lot-to-lot gain-spectrum
• High conversion efficiency
• Short gain lengths
Space Communications
• Designed for continuous space missions
• Secure communication line
• High data rates over long distances
