Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier
Erbium-doped fiber amplifier is a kind of fiber amplifier, which adds erbium ions to the fiber core. It is characterized by high gain and low noise, independent of polarization and can amplify optical signals in 1.55 m or 1.58 m bands. It used to be necessary to use optical repeaters to convert attenuated arrival time into electrical signals, which amplify and regenerate the waveform, then convert back to light and resend it. Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (ERFA), one of the greatest inventions in optical fiber communication, was first developed by The University of Southampton in 1985. Secondly, erbium-doped fiber is a fiber doped with a small amount of erbium (Er) ions in quartz fiber, which is the core of erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Since the late 1980s, the research of erbium-doped fiber amplifier has made great breakthroughs. WDM technology greatly increases the capacity of optical fiber communication and has become the most widely used optical amplifiers in optical fiber communication.

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers can be divided into two main types, single-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. In 2019, 61.8% of the global market is occupied by single-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. China has a market share of 63.70%, which is similar to the global market share.
The region where the product is produced the most in 2019 is North America, producing about 30% of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier that year, followed by Europe, which produced about 26%.
Read the full market overview
