High Power EDFA for Free-Space Communication Application
Amonics’ High Power EDFA series offers eye-safe, single mode fiber amplifier. This high-power EDFA platform is widely used as a reliable optical amplifier in research environments where thermal stability, spectral integrity, and repeatable performance are critical — particularly in hollow-core fiber characterization and space optical communication research.
The turnkey microprocessor-controlled EDFAs provide illustrative alarms and status indicators. An integrated RS232 computer interface enables easy control, diagnostic functions and data acquisition.
