The 1550nm Butterfly SOA is designed for a variety of optical applications:
Fiber Optic Sensing Systems: Used as a modulator or chopper in distributed fiber optic sensor systems, replacing acousto-optic modulators (AOMs).
Optical Communications: Amplifies optical signals in communication systems, replacing parts of EDFA systems for cost and space savings.
Lidar Systems: Used in high-power SOA arrays for enhancing transmission power and generating pulses in TOF and FMCW Lidar applications.
Wind Radar Systems: Integrated into wind Lidar
systems for improved sensitivity.
Space-Based Optical Communication: Used in space
light detection and communication systems due to its
compact form and radiation-resistant properties.
