AFC FA1590

Unfortunately, the search results provided do not contain specific information about the “AFC FA1590” optical amplifier. However, based on the keywords provided (EDFA, pre-amplificador, banda L, CPqD), it appears that the device in question is likely an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) designed for use in the L-band (approximately 1570-1610 nm) and possibly developed or used by CPqD (Centro de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento), a Brazilian research and development center.

Given the lack of direct information on the AFC FA1590, here is a general summary of EDFA characteristics and applications, which might be relevant:

EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier)

• Type: Optical Amplifier
• Wavelength Range: Typically around 1550 nm, but can include the L-band (1570-1610 nm)
• Applications: Long-haul fiber optic communications, CATV distribution, fiber to the home (FTTH) systems, point-to-multipoint distribution, and laboratory research.
• Key Features:
  • Amplification Mechanism: Uses erbium-doped fiber to amplify light signals.
  • Gain: High gain levels, typically up to 30 dB or more.
  • Noise Figure: Low noise figures, often around 5-6 dB.
  • Input/Output Power: Can handle a range of input powers and provide consistent output power levels.
  • Connectors: Often uses SC/APC connectors to minimize reflections.
  • Management Interfaces: May include RS-232 and SNMP for remote management.
