EDFA Optical Amplifiers with Variable Gain
Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) extend the range of optical links including metro area networks (MAN) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Fixed gain EDFA modules provide low noise solutions for all traditional amplification applications, but changing network conditions can affect amplifier requirements. Fiber Driver™® variable gain EDFA modules provide a flexible solution to optimize amplification without expensive equipment replacement even as other network elements change.
