In infrared optical communications, C-band (C for "conventional") refers to the wavelength range 1530–1565 nm, which corresponds to the amplification range of erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). 1 When current is applied across the ridge waveguide, excited state electrons are stimulated by input light, leading to photon replication and signal gain. The C-band is located around the absorption minimum in optical fiber, where the loss reaches. Stand-alone or incorporated light sources are warrantied for the lesser of one year or (to the extent applicable) the number of hours stated in the specifications.
