PGE 608 17
EDFA Gain Block
for DWDM Applications
Applications
• Booster amplifier in single-channel or
DWDM networks
Description
The DWDM gain block is intended to be used as a booster amplifier in WDM/
DWDM networks. The gain block has input and output power monitoring. The
input and output ports have isolators to attenuate spurious reflections in the
system.
External electronic circutry is needed for biasing the pump laser and for
controlling the pump laser temperature. Heat sink is provided via the bottom
surface.
