PriTel’s FA-L and SPFA-L Series of L-Band Optical Fiber Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications in CATV, telecommunications, fiber lasers, and optical switching at 1565 to 1615 nm.
The FA-L Series provides for L-Band amplification with the same high-quality performance characteristics found in PriTel's FA Series of C-Band Amplifiers: very low noise, wide bandwidth, low dispersion, and high saturation power without ASE problems. Dispersion management in the SPFA-L Series allows excellent sub-picosecond pulse performance in the L-Band with minimal polarization mode dispersion.
PriTel's Low power amplifiers are available in both polarization insensitive (Non PM) and polarization maintaining (PM) versions.
Input/Output Power Monitors
PriTel's Optical Fiber Amplifiers are available with a Power Monitor Option. The digital display shows the power of the input and output signals. The optical monitor outputs can be used to connect to a power meter, optical spectrum analyzer, or other equipment for monitoring the signal. This reduces the need to frequently connect/disconnect the input or output, greatly reducing the probability of burning/damaging the connectors because of dirt.
Computer Control Options
PriTel's Optical Fiber Amplifiers can be configured for remote control by a computer using interfaces such as Serial/RS-232, USB, GPIB and Ethernet.
