1738U

Preliminary Data Sheet March 2001 1738U-Type Small Form-Factor Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier with Uncooled Pump Applications s Single-channel links in: — Metro systems — Long-haul transport — Switch matrix Description The 1738U-Type Uncooled Small Form-Factor Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (SFF EDFA) is designed for single-channel amplification in C-band applications. The device is manufactured in an economical SFF package and exhibits extremely low power dissipation over a wide operating temperature range. Optimum performance and system stability are supported through the use of optical isolation at the input and output. Optical input and output functions are achieved through single-mode fiber pigtails terminated with optical connectors. The EDFA incorporates an optical input tap and monitor photodiode. Compact size and extremely low power consumption make the 1738U-Type EDFA an ideal solution for single-channel, preamplification applications in C-band. Features s Economical, compact package: 90 mm x 70 mm x 12 mm Extremely low power consumption:
