Space-Qualified Erbium-Doped Fiber Gain-Block Module (C-band)
The product provides high-power, low-noise amplification in a compact, space-qualified design using radiation-hardened fiber and reliable components for advanced telecom applications.
GIP Technology The Space-Qualified Erbium-Doped Fiber Controlled Gain Block Module (AER-SCEFA-00-00-M) is designed for high-power single-channel applications. This series adopts a special, unique, and flexible structure that maximizes signal gain and saturated output power while minimizing noise figure. By optimizing these important amplifier parameters, the module can be easily deployed into any high-quality telecommunication platform.
The controlling electronics include the central microcontroller, optical power detection and reporting of EDFA input and output, and the pump laser current driving electronics.
The space-qualified EDFA fiber optics use radiationhardened erbium-doped fibers or erbium/ytterbium codoped fibers as the gain medium. In addition, all other
passive fiber optic components are either high-reliability category items or the best-in-class high-power fiber optics.The device is designed with a very compact size, offering user-friendly status monitoring, and can be easily accessed through RS-232/RS422 or UART electrical interfaces.
