The 1550nm Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) from BOX OptronicsTech is a high-performance device designed for optical signal amplification. It significantly boosts output power while maintaining low noise and polarization dependence. This SOA is ideal for applications requiring high gain and efficient power management. It features a 14PIN Butterfly package, which ensures robust and reliable performance.

The amplifier operates in the C-Band and supports 40G and 100G blocking shutter or modulation, making it suitable for advanced optical communication systems. This SOA is engineered with high reliability, adhering to Telcordia GR-468 standards and RoHS compliance. It offers a wide -3dB gain bandwidth of up to 100nm and a saturation optical power of 23dBm. The small signal gain ranges from 30 to 35dB, ensuring effective amplification of weak signals. The device operates with a forward current of 1000mA and a forward voltage of 2.4 to 2.6V. The noise figure is maintained between 6 to 8dB, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity.

The SOA also features a shutdown extinction ratio of over 35dB, enhancing its performance in various operating conditions. The 1550nm SOA is packaged in a compact and durable 14PIN Butterfly enclosure, measuring 30mm in length and 26mm in width. It includes a thermistor for temperature monitoring and a TEC (Thermo-Electric Cooler) for precise temperature control.

The operating case temperature ranges from -10 to +70℃, and the storage temperature ranges from -40 to +85℃. This SOA is ideal for applications such as loss compensation in fiber optic connections, switches, and WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks. It is also suitable for MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) systems, where high power and stable performance are required.
