High-Power Polarization Maintaining EDFA for C-band – DK-XS-DT-006-A/2

The DK-XS-DT-006-A/2 is a high-power polarization maintaining erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) designed specifically for C-band applications, covering the 1540~1565nm wavelength range. Leveraging advanced multi-stage optical amplification and robust thermal management, this amplifier delivers exceptional output power while maintaining the polarization state of the input signal. Its all-polarization-maintaining (PM) design ensures high extinction ratio and minimal polarization mode dispersion, making it ideal for demanding optical systems where signal integrity is paramount.

This EDFA stands out for its ability to provide saturated output powers up to 40dBm, with a low noise figure (<6dB) and excellent gain flatness (3dB). The use of PM1550-XP panda fiber further enhances its polarization performance, ensuring reliable and stable operation in critical applications. The amplifier is available in both module and desktop configurations, offering flexibility for integration into various system architectures. Control options include automatic current control (ACC) and automatic power control (APC), with user-friendly interfaces such as RS232 or button control, depending on the model.

Designed for high-performance fiber optic communication, fiber lasers, and advanced fiber sensor systems, the DK-XS-DT-006-A/2 meets the rigorous demands of modern photonics applications. Its high input/output isolation (>35dB) and low polarization mode dispersion (<0.5ps) ensure superior signal quality, while the robust construction supports reliable operation across a wide temperature and humidity range. This makes it a preferred choice for research laboratories, industrial environments, and telecommunication networks requiring high-power, polarization-maintaining amplification in the C-band.
