Gain Adjustable Surge-Free Optical Fiber Amplifier　automatic gain control

The bench top AGC (automatic gain control) fiber amplifier offers optical
surge-free performances and is suitable for optical transmission
experiments or for optical networking techniques such as optical packet
switching or optical burst switching.

The main characteristics are:
• Incredible optical surge-free performances at plug-in and power-on and suitable for burst signals operation,
• A very unique and optimized control system combining a feedforward and feedback method,
• Digital control method with a FPGA to finely tune the gain setting,
• A sophisticated control and alignment algorithm.
