MAFA 3000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Micro Amplifier
EMCORE’s MAFA 3000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) Gain Block
Module is an ideal building block for OEM system integrators. The family of MAFA
3000 EDFA Gain Blocks is designed to meet the most demanding noise
performance requirements of special and CATV applications, and performs all the
functions required of a high power optical amplifier for system integration.
MAFA 3000 series EDFA Gain Blocks provide optical isolation on the input and
output of the gain block 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 3000 series EDFA Gain Blocks also provide monitors and associated
alarms for all vital characteristics. The optical output of the MAFA 3000 series
EDFA Gain Blocks can be split into multiple ports by an optional external splitter.
Small mechanical footprint allows using this unit in very tight space environments.
