San Mateo, CA, January 13, 2003. ElectroniCast's Optical Fiber Amplifier, Gain Block & Components Global Market Forecast Report presents a detailed ten-year forecast and analysis of the consumption of Optical Fiber Amplifiers (OFAs). The forecast is segmented into the significant end applications on a regional basis, by amplifier types, optical fiber gain blocks, and the various components which are used to assemble the gain blocks. Optical fiber gain blocks are used in the fabrication of the OFAs.
"The global consumption (use) of Active Optical Gain Blocks (AOGBs) will increase from a 2002 value of $1.18 billion to $2.45 billion in 2006," the report's director, ElectroniCast President Stephen Montgomery said. "Optical fiber gain block consumption currently is dominated by 1550nm Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) gain blocks. Telecommunications applications leads in OFA use; However, Private Data Communications, Cable TV, Military and Test/Measurement OFA use will provide unique opportunities for component manufacturers as well as the system equipment manufacturers," Montgomery said.
The Optical Fiber Amplifier, Gain Blocks and Components Global Market Forecast Service is immediately available for the fee of $12,000. The complete service includes analysts inquiry services, debriefing sessions, quarterly industry review, extensive data base spreadsheets and the report text.
