Fiber Optical Amplifier is a kind of optical amplifier using optical fiber as gain medium. Typically, the gain medium is fiber doped with rare earth ions, such as erbium (EDFA, Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier), neodymium, ytterbium (YDFA), praseodymium and thulium. These active dopants are pumped (provided with energy) by light from a laser, such as a fiber-coupled diode laser; in most cases, the pump light and the amplified signal light travel simultaneously in the fiber core.

Laser sensors are sensors that use laser technology to measure. It consists of a laser, a laser detector and a measuring circuit. Laser sensor is a new type of measuring instrument. Its advantages are that it can realize non-contact long-distance measurement, fast speed, high precision, large range, strong anti-light and electrical interference ability, etc.

Raman fiber amplifier (RFA) is an important part of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) communication system. In many nonlinear optical media, the scattering of pump light with a shorter wavelength causes a small part of the incident power to be transferred to another beam whose frequency is shifted down. The amount of frequency shift down is determined by the vibration mode of the medium. This process is called pulling Mann effect. If a weak signal and a strong pump light wave are simultaneously transmitted in the fiber, and the weak signal wavelength is placed within the Raman gain bandwidth of the pump light, the weak signal light can be amplified. This mechanism is based on stimulated Raman scattering The optical amplifier is called RFA.

Semiconductor laser is a kind of laser developed in the 1960s, using semiconductor materials as working materials. Since the end of the 1970s, semiconductor lasers have clearly developed in two directions. One type is information-type lasers for the purpose of transmitting information, and the other type is power-type lasers for the purpose of directly using the optical power of the output laser.

Recently, many people in the optical module industry chain have said frankly that the demand for 5G is not as good as expected. At the same time, LightCounting also pointed out in the latest report that 5G deployment is slowing, especially in the Chinese market. Do not have much hope for the return of 5G fronthaul demand in the short term.

In data centers, optical modules exist everywhere, but few people mention them. In fact, optical modules are already the most widely used products in data centers. Today's data centers are basically optical fiber interconnection, and the situation of cable interconnection has become less and less. Therefore, without optical modules, data centers cannot operate at all. The optical module converts electrical signals into optical signals at the sending end through photoelectric conversion, and then transmits through optical fibers, and then converts the optical signals into electrical signals at the receiving end. That is to say, any optical module has two parts: transmitting and receiving. The function is to do photoelectric conversion and electro-optical conversion, so that the optical modules are inseparable from the equipment at both ends of the network. There are thousands of devices in a medium-sized data center.
