Alphion Introduces New 1060nm Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

Alphion® Corporation, a privately held company that develops, manufactures and markets communication systems, subsystems, and integrated photonic components based on its proprietary QLight® technology, announced the introduction of the 1060nm SAX20r Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA).

The QLight® SAX20r is suitable for use as a gain element in swept source and as an ASE source. It is used in a broad spectrum of applications including fiber optic sensing, medical imaging and test & measurement. The SAX20r is available with HI 1060 fiber and FC/APC connectors. Other fiber (PM980) and connector options are available on request.

Alphion offers a broad range of SOAs supporting wavelengths from 1000 nm to 1600 nm, with gain options from 5 to 30 dB. Other parameters can be optimized to meet your specific application needs. Alphion will be displaying its full line of SOAs at the 2010 Photonics West (booth 4541) and BiOS (booth 8810) exhibitions, January 23rd to 28th, in San Francisco.
