MAFA 3000 Series EDFA DATASHEET | AUGUST 2012 FIBER OPTICS 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. Applications High Performance Supertrunking Links 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. High Power Distribution Networks Redundant Ring Architectures FTTx Networks Fiber Deep Architectures 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.
