Gain Flattening Filter

Gain Flattening Filter

ACP’s Gain Flattening Filters for Erbriun-Droped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) are based on thin-film filter technology and metal bonding micro-optics packaging. The Gain Flattening Filters provide in line compensation of the spectral gain profile of EDFAs. This device is used in high-power applications in DWDM systems.

Features
  • Wide Operating Wavelength Range
  • Low Insertion Loss
  • Flat Spectral Gain
  • High Stability and Reliability
  • Epoxy Free Optical Path
Applications
  • Fiberoptic Amplifiers
