C-band 26dB-gain EDFA module. Max power > 13dBm. Erbium-doped fiber amplifier.

Fixed 26dB-gain at small signal input and fixed >13dBm-output at large signal input. Low-cost and compact EDFA instrument for your lab experiment and project. It is based on high-reliable JDS 27-series 974nm pump laser and telecom-grade circuitry.
 
You need connect 4 wires (+5V, -5V, GND, +5V to enable EDFA) from your power supply. See 1st 2 photos. It comes with 26-pin cable with connector only at one end, see 1st photo. To save our labour cost, we only verify output power >13dBm at -1dBm input, no detailed test result. You can buy our power supply at  +5, -5V dual output linear power supply

SPECIFICATION:
 
Operating wavelength: 1529.16nm – 1561.84nm (You can use at wider wavelength range at lower gain and power performance).
Fixed gain at small signal: 26dB typical (min 24.5dB, max 26.5dB), at input signal between -19dBm and -13dBm.
(Gain will reduce gradually if input power decrease from -19dBm. Gain near 1562nm or near 1529nm might be slightly out of specification).
Fixed output power at >-13dBm input: 13dBm typical. Output power will be saturated and grow slower with input power after input power greater than -13dBm.
Max output power at large input (-1dBm ): >13dBm.
Noise figure at input signal between -19dBm and -13dBm : 5dB typical. Noise figure is a little bit high at shorter wavelength, up to 6dB. Noise figure would be higher at <-19dBm input.
Noise figure at large signal input: >5.5dB typical.
 
Gain flatness: <1dB typically, at >-19dBm input signal power. There is small gain peak at small input signal, and there is small gain peak at 1558nm at large input signal.
Note: Better gain flatness may be available by adding gain-flat filter at the input or output of internal EDFA module. We have many various gain-flat filter inventory for this.
