MAFA 1000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Micro Amplifier
EMCORE’s MAFA 1000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber micro Amplifier (μEDFA)
Gain Block Module is an ideal building block for OEM system integrators. The
family of MAFA 1000 EDFA Gain Blocks is designed to meet the most demanding
noise performance requirements of fiber optic communications and control
systems, and performs all the functions required of an optical amplifier for system
integration.
MAFA 1000 series EDFA Gain Blocks provide input and output optical isolation for
stable, low noise operation. The input and output optical signal power levels are
detected for monitoring and control. The input optical signal is amplified with
active gain control for a constant output power level or with active output power
control for constant gain mode operation.
The MAFA 1000 series EDFA Gain Blocks also provide monitors and associated
alarms for all critical operating parameters. The optical output of the MAFA 1000
series EDFA Gain Blocks can be split into multiple ports by optional external
splitter. Optional back reflection monitoring feature enables safe output optical
power managing.
The compact mechanical footprint of the MAFA 1000 allows using this unit to be
installed in small space environments.

Laser Safety Information
This product meets the applicable requirements of 21 CFR 1010 & 1040 and is classified as a Class IV laser product based
on the maximum optical output power shown below. During use as intended, the laser energy is fully contained within the
fiber network such that there is no accessible laser radiation and would meet the requirements for a Class I laser product.
The laser product report has been submitted to the CDRH and the accession number is expected by October 2006.
Wavelength = 1535 ~ 1565 nm (dependant on input source)
Maximum Output Power = 0.2 W (single output, 23 dBm model)
