IPG presents EAD Series, 0.5 to 5W Single C and L-Band Erbium Fiber Amplifiers with the EAD Series of high power EDFAs. IPG offers a range of Erbium doped fiber amplifiers [EDFAs] with models in both the C-band [1535-1567 nm], the L-Band [1570-1610 nm], and powers ranging from 0.5 Watt to over 5 Watts. The amplifiers are conveniently packaged for use in a laboratory or test-bed environment, with all electronics and optical components contained in one instrument. The user-friendly front panel includes a monitor display, a keyed on/off switch, power control and fiber input/outputs. An RS232 or optional GPIB interface allows for easy integration into your manufacturing or experimental set-up. These universal amplifier devices operate in the temperature range of 0 - 50 degree C, and require only 110/220V AC [50/60 Hz]. It is an IPG product multi-clad side pumping technique allows for the use of extremely reliable broad-stripe multimode diodes in all models, with built-in redundancy, and no need for TEC cooling. Applications of the product include Fiber Optic Communications, Free-Space Communications, Photonics Switching, Sensorics. The salient features of the 0.5 to 5W Single C and L-Band Erbium Fiber Amplifiers:
