Erbium-Doped Single-Clad Optical Fiber

ER12-6

Description

The ER12-6 Er-doped single-clad fiber features a high absorption and high quantum efficiency that make this product the ideal solution for the design of optical telecom amplifiers. It is also an excellent alternative to the ER8-6 fiber, as its higher absorption would benefit the efficiency required by some telecom applications.

Features & Benefits

  • Low background losses
  • High doping concentration – provides highly efficient energy transfer
  • Low splice loss

Applications

  • Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA)
  • Telecom
