The invention is directed to an apparatus for housing a linearized optical fiberamplifier (LOFA) circuit. The apparatus includes a body member, preferably madeof foam plastic material, that defines cavities to receive the components of the LOFA circuit including a dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) reel. The apparatus includes opposing arcuate members about which optical fibers coupling components of the LOFA circuit are looped. Retaining rings fitted over the first and second arcuate members and supported by at least one surface defined in the body member, can beused to separate each optical fiber from others to provide organization and to prevent entanglement of the optical fibers. A reel receptacle member receives and holds an active fiber (AF) reel of the LOFA circuit. The reel receptacle member can be placed between the arcuate members to be held therebetween The body member can be fitted into a case, preferably made of a rigid, lightweight material such as aluminum, that protects the LOFA circuit from damage due to shock or impact.

Dispositif de logement pour un circuit d'amplificateur à fibres optiques linéarisé (LOFA). Le dispositif comprend une partie principale, de préférence en plastique mousse, qui définit des cavités destinées à recevoir les composants dudit circuit LOFA, y compris une bobine de fibre à compensation de dispersion. Le dispositif comprend des parties arquées opposées autour desquelles des composants de couplage de fibres optiques du circuit LOFA sont bouclés. Des bagues d'arrêt posées sur la première et la deuxième parties arquées et supportées par au moins une surface définie dans la partie principale, peuvent servir à séparer chaque fibre optique des autres pour assurer l'organisation et empêcher l'emmêlement des fibres optiques. Un réceptacle de bobine reçoit et tient une bobine de fibre active du circuit LOFA. Ledit réceptacle peut être placé en serre entre les parties arquées. La partie principale peut être adaptée dans un étui, fait de préférence d'un matériau rigide, léger comme l'aluminium, qui protège le circuit LOFA des dommages dus à des chocs ou à des impacts.
