MAFA 2000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Micro Amplifier
EMCORE’s MAFA 2000 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) Gain Block
Module is an ideal building block for OEM system integrators. The family of MAFA
2000 EDFA Gain Blocks is designed to meet the most demanding noise
performance requirements of high performance networks, and performs all the
functions required of an optical amplifier for system integration.
MAFA2000 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 2000 series EDFA Gain Blocks also provide monitors and associated
alarms for all critical operating parameters. The optical output of the MAFA 2000
series EDFA Gain Blocks also provide monitors and associated alarms for all vital
characteristics. The optical output of the MAFA 2000 series EDFA Gain Blocks
can be split into multiple ports by an optional external splitter.
