DiCon’s Waveguide Optical Amplifier (WOA) is an innovative alternative to traditional ErbiumDoped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), the existing standard in fiber optic communication networks. This uniquely designed and meticulously fabricated waveguide device efficiently couples and transfers pump laser energy to live traffic signals. It delivers more than 25 dB of gain while producing much less Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise, compared to typical EDFAs. With a hermetically sealed package and a form factor smaller than any existing EDFAs in the market, the WOA offers exceptional reliability and can be easily designed into any high volume commercial or mission-critical specialty applications. DiCon’s WOA is controlled by a separate external circuit, allowing expedient implementation and qualification.
