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.
