The W1724-Type Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier  (EDFA) has been designed for use in DWDM applications and offers the following performance features:

Flat gain profile over a wide temperature range

Low noise figure

High output power

Automatic gain lock

The versatile W1724-Type EDFA operates over a wide temperature range, exhibits extremely low power dissipation, and offers a variety of alarms and monitors. Optimum performance and system stability are supported through the use of optical isolation at the input and output. Optical input and output are through single-mode fiber pigtails terminated with optical connectors.

The W1724-Type EDFA incorporates optical input and output taps that are monitored via an integral microcontroller. Significant performance benefits are achieved with the microcontroller, which stabilizes the temperature of the pumps and maintains constant gain of the amplifier.
