Description

The W1724-Type Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier
(EDF A) has been designed for use in DWDM applica­tions and offers the following performance features:

Data Sheet, Rev. 1

September 2001

Designed for use in DWDM applications, the standard
W1724-Type EDFA incorporates a DB-25 connector and a
microcontroller with TTL compatible alarm monitoring.

Features

■

Gain-flattened spectral response

■

High saturation output power, > 22 dBm

■

Low power consumption, < 12 W @ 45 °C

■

Low noise

■

Single 5 V operation

■

Wide input signal bandwidth

■

Wide operating temperature range, 0 °C to 65 °C

■

Optical input and output taps

■

Isolated input and output

■

Programmable input and output monitors

■

Flat gain profile over a wide temperature range

■

Low noise figure

■

High output power

■

Automatic gain lock

The versatile W1724-Type EDFA operates over a
wide temperature range, exhibits extremely low
power dissipation, and offers a variety of alarms and
monitors. Optimum performance and system stability
are supported through the use of optical isolation at
the input and output. Optical input and output are
through single-mode fiber pigtails terminated with
optical connectors.

The EDFA incorporates optical input and output taps
that are monitored via an integral microcontroller.
Significant performance benefits are achieved with
the microcontroller, which stabilizes the temperature
of the pumps and maintains constant gain of the
amplifier.

Standard Features

The standard W1724-Type EDFA incorporates the opti­cal architecture illustrated in Figure 1. The standard
features include:

■

Exceptional performance benefits with the integral
microcontroller, which precisely controls the gain to
maintain a flat spectral response over various input
powers.

■

Single 5 V power supply eliminates the need for dual
voltage source circuits.

■

DB-25 electrical connector allows for easy electrical
connectivity.

■

Optical input tap enables input monitoring and con­trol.

■

SC/PC optical connector.

■

Low power dissipation.

■

Alarms:
— Loss of input power alarm.
— Loss of output power alarm.
— Pump bias alarm (>95% of EOL value).
— Pump temperature alarm (T
— EDFA temperature alarm (T

■

Advanced microprocessor design requires minimal
engineering for a shelf-level product.

Loss of Output Power Alar m

If the output power decreases by more than 2 dB from
its beginning-of-life value, the loss of output power
alarm (pin 8) will activate (TTL-logic 1).

Pumps Temperature Alarm

If the laser temperature for the pump(s) exceeds 35 °C,
the pump temperature alarm (pin 10) will activate (TTL­logic 1).

Pumps Bias Alarm

If the bias current for the pump(s) exceeds 95% of its
EOL value, the pump bias alarm (pin 9) will activate
(TTL-logic 1).

EDFA Tempera ture Alarm

If the case temperature exceeds 60 °C, then the
EDFA temperature alarm (pin 7) will activate (TTL­logic 1).

1.Do not connect to reser ved pins.

2.Normal = TTL low, alarm = TTL high if the output power falls 2 dB below the minimum value.

3.Normal = TTL low, alarm = TTL high if pump bias exceeds 95% of its end-of-life value.

4.Normal = TTL low, alarm = TTL high if pump temperature exceeds 35 °C.

5.The EDFA is equipped with an optical transient suppression feature when this pin is tied to GND. The EDFA will turn all pumps off, if the
input power is too low. Tying this pin to 5 V will disable this feature; however, damage to the optical connectors and components may occur if
the amplifier is turned on without the presence of an optical signal.

6. Normal = TTL low, alarm = TTL high if input power is less than 2 dB below minimum P
Amplifier enable (all pumps are on) = TTL low, amplifier disable (all pumps are off) = TTL high.
