Ytterbium-doped Fiber Amplifier (YDFA)


Ytterbium-doped Fiber Amplifier (YDFA) is another Amonics specialised product line. Like our highly recognized optical amplifiers, the YDFA offers high output power and high gain with exceptional reliability, which is ideal for high power YDFA applications.

The turnkey microprocessor controlled benchtop YDFAs manage alarms and status indicators. An integrated RS232 or Ethernet computer interface enables easy control, diagnostic functions and data acquisition. Available options include single frequency operation, linearly polarized operation.
