AFL’s new all-fiber 980nm, 1480nm,
and Raman PBC’s bring new levels
of high-power handling capability.
Continuous improvement in the gain spectra of optical
amplification is critical to support the ever-increasing
channel counts and bit rates of DWDM telecommunica-
tions systems. The PBC is a highly reliable2, low insertion
loss, all-fiber component designed for use in EDFAs and
Raman amplifiers.
New, Raman amplifiers have emerged to complement
EDFA designs for long-haul signal transport. Raman ampli-
fier designs require several high-powered pump lasers to
be combined, necessitating a combiner that can able
handle the total power.
High pump power levels are handled by the all-fiber
design and available wavelengths incorporate 980nm,
1480nm, and Raman pump lasers. The center wavelength
of AFL's PBC can be customized to meet your design
needs.
