Ultra Low Noise Optical Amplifier <PFA-100>
- High Gain Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier
-
|
LNA-150 is a specially designed Erbium-doped fiber amplifier
which offers a superior optical amplication performance with a very high
gain factor and a minimal added noise. A near quantum limited noise figure
of typically 3.8dB, and a small-signal optical gain of over 50dB, reflects
the impact of the specialty fiber and amplifier design employed in the
LNA-150.
It is an indispensable optical amplifer for applications to
detect weak optical signals. For signal channel application, an even higher
signal-to-noise performance can be realised when used together with the
Alnair WTF-200 series narrow band optical filter to further suppress the
out-of-band noise.
