-
So until proper photon amplifiers arrived in the late 1980s the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, or EDFA, this was like taking a message off the freeway every few miles, putting it on a frontage road for electronic manipulation, then putting it back on the freeway again.

-
The pump wavelength, usually at 980 nm or sometimes 1480 nm, is coupled to the Erbium doped fiber at the input, while any residual pump power is removed at the EDFA output by a second coupler.

The module also incorporates laser safety mechanisms, ensuring that both the Hybrid Raman-EDFA module itself and the network in which it is installed can be classified as Class 1M products with respect to laser safety.
