Optical Limiting Amplifiers

Analog Devices high gain optical limiting amplifiers feature low power, low jitter, and excellent sensitivity performance. Our limiting amplifiers include receiver functions such as quantization, loss of signal detection, and SFF-8472-compliant average power measurement. Along with SFP, SFF, and GBIC MSA module designs, our amplifiers also support physical layer protocols that include 1 ×, 2 ×, and 4 × Fibre Channel, 10GBASE-LX4, multiple rate SONET/SDH up to OC-48 with FEC, and Gigabit Ethernet.
