Fixed-Gain EDFAs (Gain-Block EDFAs)

Power your high-bitrate transponder applications by choosing from a wide range of our compact EDFAs in a variety of packages to serve as uncontrolled gain blocks.

Our EDFAs combine industry-leading high-efficiency uncooled 980 nm pump lasers with advanced micro-optic passive hybrid-function components. A widely tunable optical filter may be optionally integrated to filter out ASE noise and increase transmission reach.
