Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)

Applications• Booster and In-line Amplification in WDW Metro Network Systems• Network Loss Compensation

Description
Amonics SOA is a polarization maintaining optical amplifier with high fiber-tofiber gain. It is designed for transmitter applications to increase optical launch
power to compensate for the loss of other optical devices.
The benchtop version incorporates a user-friendly front panel housing a LCD
monitor display, key switch, power control knob and optical connectors. RS232
computer interface is also equipped on the rear panel. 1MHz with 10ns pulsewidth intensity modulation is available.
The OEM module version is an ideal building block for OEM system
integration, especially in optical communication network and CATVapplications. It requires only a single +5V power supply.

Key Features• 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength coverage• High fiber-to-fiber gain
• 1MHz with 10ns pulse width• Modulation available• PM Panda fiber input• Good spectral stability• Compact size
• Good performance cost ratio
