Abstract

An isothermal fiber optic tray is used to hold optical fiber, such as erbium doped fiber in an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The isothermal fiber optic tray comprises a thermally conductive inner structure providing a substantially isothermal cavity. An insulating outer structure is positioned adjacent first and second sides of the thermally conductive inner structure.
