Erbium-Doped Active Fibers

Erbium-Doped Active Fibers

With their high absorption, our erbium-doped fibers can be used to design erbium-doped optical amplifiers (EDFA) for telecommunication in the C and L band and sensing applications such as LiDAR and wind sensing. Presenting low background losses and splice losses, our high doping concentration fibers provide highly efficient signal transfer.
