HYDRA
Mid-Power Booster Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier
The HYDRA is a booster optical fiber amplifier designed for space and harsh environments.
HYDRA is developed using Gooch & Housego’s highest manufacturing standards and high-reliability components manufactured by G&H.
The amplifier can operate under thermal vacuum and in demanding vibration and radiation environments.
Offered in an OEM module, HYDRA can be controlled and monitored through an electrical interface, making it ideal for system integration into laser communication terminals.
The electronics monitoring, control and I/O circuitry embedded in the flight unit employ space-qualified components. Printed circuit board layout and assembly follows space standards and guidelines. The system design ensures operation in space environments and provides necessary protection against single event effects.
Customized optical performance, enclosures, port configurations and amplifier arrays in a single housing are available on request.
Interfaces, electronics functionality and redundancy can be tailored according to the specific user requirements.
