3 Overview
3.1 Product Description
The Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA) is designed to plug into Technetix latest generation Advanced Intelligent Multi-
services Access platform - the AIMA3000.
Technetix AIMA3000 EDFA module works in conjunction with 1550 nm optical transmitter modules to meet client
requirements for different environments and transmission distances.
The EDFA employs a highly reliable pump laser with an advanced design to ensure that the unit can achieve a very low
noise profile and high pump efficiency. The unit uses single or dual-pump lasers designed with inter-stage isolators. Its
output power ranges from 13 dBm (19.95 mW) to 30 dBm (251.18 mW). The EDFA supports a fixed gain setting for dense
wave division multiplexing (DWDM) applications, as well as a number of user-selectable output ports.
The EDFA can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet ports
via the ASMM module
