Description

Erbium-doped fibers are doped active fibers used for operation around 1550 nm. They are perfect for the design of erbium-doped optical amplifiers (EDFA) for telecommunication in the C and L band and sensing applications such as LiDAR.

Features & Benefits

  • High absorption
  • High quantum conversion efficiency lowers pump power requirements, reducing overall system costs
  • Low background losses

Applications

  • Telecommunications
  • LiDAR
