OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490
Bismuth-doped fibers modules OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490 include four variants. In the first three types (OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490, OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490‑HC, and OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490‑XC), the active absorption at 1400 nm increases sequentially by approximately 80–100%: 0.75 / 1.35 / 2.75 dB/m. The gain increases accordingly. All fibers modules are specifically designed for use in fiber amplifiers, lasers, and superluminescent fiber sources operating in the 1370–1490 nm wavelength range.
Bismuth-doped fibers modules OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490 has the highest ratio of active absorption to unsaturable losses, enabling the lowest noise figure in amplifiers. It is recommended when achieving the minimum noise figure is the main priority in amplifier design or when maximum laser efficiency (>65%) is required.
Bismuth-doped fibers modules OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490‑HC and OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490‑XC allow the length of a laser or amplifier to be reduced by approximately 2 and 4 times, respectively, compared to the OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490 fibers modules. They are well suited for applications where minimizing device length is a priority.
Bismuth-doped fibers modules OFM-BAC-Si-1370-1490-PM has a PANDA‑type structure and therefore supports polarization. The presence of a noticeable polarization‑dependent gain effect can be useful for achieving lasing in a single polarization.
