Typical RightWave™ EDFA

Variety, Experience, Repeatability

Erbium-doped fiber (EDF) continues to be a critical component

for the amplification of optical transmission signals. In telecom

there is a broad range of amplifier applications including EDFA,

CATV and DWDM amplifiers, which can be designed for low to

very high pump powers. OFS offers the broadest portfolio of

EDF in the telecom industry to meet your specific requirements

for C- and L-Band amplifiers as well as amplified spontaneous

emission (ASE) sources. Since the very onset of EDFA

technology, OFS has been investing in and employing state-of-

the-art equipment to develop and manufacture its RightWave™

EDF products.

The RightWave EDF product line meets the most stringent

standards for performance, quality and reliability. OFS also

offers its customers flexibility in customizing EDF to their

requirements. A record of high volume delivery and lot-to-lot

consistency over the years is proof of OFS’ dedication to helping

customers realize their goals. All EDF products go through a

rigorous qualification program to ensure the optical and physical

characteristics meet the specifications criteria. OFS offers state-

of-the-art production facilities, ISO-controlled management

systems to ensure repeatability, new fiber technology and

advanced R&D support.

Enabling Optimal Amplifier Design

Applications and performance requirements vary throughout the

industry requiring EDF to be optimized for different amplifier

applications. That’s why OFS offers the industry’s broadest

portfolio of EDF so amplifier design engineers can select the

best fiber type that will lead to an optimal design for their

application. OFS manufactures a variety of fibers that offer

advantages such as gain flatness, high efficiency in a range of

pump powers, and low noise figure. Other fundamental

characteristics of RightWave EDF include spectral uniformity,

high power conversion efficiency, gain shape, low splice loss

and low noise. Fibers are available for power-amplifier, in-line

amplifier, or pre-amplifier configurations in the C- or L-Band.

OASiX® Modeling Software

The OFS OASiX® Optical Amplifier Simulation System is a

sophisticated simulation software package that helps determine

which OFS EDF is best for you. OASiX is provided free of

charge to OFS EDF customers to model the performance of OFS

EDF in accurate design simulations maximizing performance of

system design. This software package, featuring an enhanced

user interface, allows the simulation of a wide variety of EDFA

types to predict which fiber is best for your application. ASE

sources and laser designs are also incorporated in this

proprietary software package. This specialized software package

allows a system engineer to enter custom setup conditions,

which can accurately predict EDF performance at all pump

powers. OASiX also includes modeling parameters specific to

the lot of EDF purchased, and it is available in a Dynamic Link

Library (DLL) version to combine with other external

optimization tools. OFS continues to issue new releases of

OASiX to keep pace with the evolving needs of EDFA

designers. Many customers see value in using OASiX for

simulation as it can save them valuable measurement time,

reduce fiber waste and also help optimize amplifier design.

World class EDF products and services, combined with a

laser like focus on customer needs from specifications to

delivery, truly differentiate OFS as a trusted fiber solutions

partner.

OFS World Class Production Facilities

As an industry leading specialty optical fiber manufacturer, OFS

has the added competitive advantage of two state-of-the-art

locations producing EDF: Somerset, NJ, USA, and Broendby,

Denmark. The facilities in Somerset offer a low to high volume

mix in production capacity as well as abilities to develop

specialty fiber design for OFS customers. The Broendby facility,

on the other hand, is capable of producing very high volume.

Each site has highly experienced staff collaborating together on

continued development, manufacturing, best practices

and support of EDF. Both locations have successfully

used advanced design and processing techniques to

consistently meet customer needs around the world.

Having two manufacturing sites (each location main-

tains independent supply chains, labor and plant

resources), provides OFS customers security of delivery,

more fiber choices and a readily available second

source. These are key factors when relying on critical, high-

performance fiber products. OFS Laboratories, another major

advantage of working with OFS, continues its rich research

tradition of innovating new EDF design to meet future customer

requirements.

OFS Specialty Fiber Services

OFS Specialty Fiber Services offer a trusted business partner

relationship with complete flexibility to customers requiring

customization for their optimum amplifier design. We are

determined to help customers realize their goals by offering

enhanced product development. For over ten years, OFS has

operated a solid combination specialty fiber services including

consulting, fiber design, test and measurement, and splicing

services. New fiber designs for increased bandwidths are being

refined to offer even more options for extended flat gain bands.

Our preform manufacturing can be tailored to meet specific

targets within our set ranges for more customized designs. Once

customized, we create custom specifications and part numbers

for production to meet your volume needs. OFS EDF products
