The OI-BT-C-18-Sd-B-GP-FA is a C-band fiber optic amplifier module engineered for optical signal amplification across communication and sensor systems. This benchtop unit delivers 18 dBm rated output power and operates within the C-band wavelength region, supporting pre-amplification, in-line amplification, and moderate power boosting applications. The module integrates input and output monitor photodiodes, paired with Automatic Power Control (APC) and Automatic Current Control (ACC) to maintain stable gain and output characteristics despite input signal variations. Dual control modes—constant pump current and constant output power—accommodate diverse operational requirements.
