Fiber Optic Study Platform - EDFA model

Innovative and highly advanced training solution, covering key areas of Optics, Optoelectronics, and Optical Communications.

This set comes with a series of accessories (single-mode fiber spools, multimeter, optical power meter, headset, microphone, cables and connectors, ...) and control software for recording results.

This Kit is a stand-alone system that utilizes components from the industry that do not require any additional equipment for operation or data analysis.

The interactive software also includes theoretical concepts related to each experiment. Users can refer to the theory and simultaneously conduct their experiments from the touch screen.

Complete "turnkey" Kit (components, accessories, software, theories, experimental protocols, and results).
Robust and reliable solution using industrial components and Telecom fibers.
Educational objectives related to program content and providing a real approach to the industrial world.
Scalable system: possibility to develop custom experiments, add external components for further studies.
