O-band amplifier (BDFA, Bench Top)
A bench-top bismuth-doped fiber amplifier covering the full O-band with broad, flat gain. FiberLabs marks the product page as preliminary.
Technical overview
The AMP-FL8621-OB-21 covers 1260 to 1340 nm at a 1310 nm nominal wavelength, producing >= +21 dBm output at 0 dBm input and >= 23 dB gain at -30 dBm input, with noise figure <= 7 dB. It ships in the 88 x 430 x 350 mm chassis on G.652 SMF with FC/PC connectors and built-in isolators, and is controlled by front panel, RS-232C or GP-IB. FiberLabs positions the wide flat gain for ultra-wideband WDM transmission.
Features
- High output power model in O-band optical fiber amplifiers (>=21 dBm)
- Wide wavelength range
- Low noise figure (<=7 dB)
- High stability
- High reliability
