Description
1550nm High Power PM Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
1550nm High Power PM Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) is a optic active product which can boost the intensity of optical signal in a fiber optic communication system. The SOA built with angled multi-quantum-well chip to output stable amplified light, one single polarization light will be amplified, the TEC and Thermistor built in to control the device temperature. PM SOA is default with isolator built inside. It features high optical gain, high saturation output power, it’s widely used in Optical Line Amplifier, Optic Non-linear Application and Optoelectronic Integration field, the output signal power can be customized.
