EDFA amplifier and SOA amplifier are the two most widely used amplifiers in optical transmission. This article explains the difference between these two amplifiers 1. Performance features compete 1) Gain characteristics EDFA amplifier: Within its operating wavelength range (1530-1565nm), it can provide a high and relatively flat gain, typically ranging from 10 to 40dB. This… Continue reading The difference between EDFA amplifier and SOA amplifier
