Compact Gain Block Booster

The compact low-cost EDFA is a small form factor module with a cooler-less pump laser that offers economical amplification for a wide range of applications. It is designed to amplify from one to eight channels with 100 GHz or 50 GHz ITU-T grid in the C-band. This module is ideal for today’s highly dynamic networks and cost sensitive market.
A standard 6-pin electrical connector (HIROSE DF11-6DP-2DSA) allows for easy electrical connectivity. A standard RS232 or I²C electrical interface is provided for full functional EDFA. The compact EDFA is Telcordia compliant.
