This unit
The IPG Photonics EAU-1-L is an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier module engineered for integration into industrial laser systems and broadband infrastructure equipment. It delivers optical amplification across the L-band with low noise performance, accepting input power levels from -3 dBm to +10 dBm and producing output power between 10.0 dBm and 26 dBm at 1550 nm. The module operates as a standalone unit with universal AC power input and RS-232-C control interface.

IPG Photonics EAU-1-L — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the IPG Photonics EAU-1-L. Calibration covers gain at rated input power across the specified wavelength range, noise figure at rated gain setting, output power accuracy, gain flatness across the C-band or specified wavelength range, and polarization-dependent gain (PDG) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common IPG Photonics EAU-1-L faults: pump laser diode degradation (gain drop, reduced output power), TEC failure causing thermal drift, optical isolator degradation, power supply failure. The most common failure on any EDFA is pump laser diode degradation. Secondary faults include TEC failure causing thermal runaway, optical isolator degradation, and power supply failure.

This IPG Photonics EAU-1-L is listed at $4,200. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
IPG Photonics EAU-1-L calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the IPG Photonics EAU-1-L is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers gain at rated input power across the specified wavelength range, noise figure at rated gain setting, output power accuracy, gain flatness across the C-band or specified wavelength range, and polarization-dependent gain (PDG) where applicable. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
