DATA SHEET – NOVEMBER 2007 Integrated Transmitter and Fiber Amplifier TAFA3000 0.05 – 18 GHz, 1555 nm Externally Modulated Transmitter with Integrated EDFA The Emcore TAFA3000 is an integrated high-performance externally modulated transmitter and erbium doped fiber amplifier with guaranteed performance over the 0.05 – 18 GHz frequency band. It incorporates a high dynamic range lithium niobate Mach Zehnder optical modulator. It provides 19 dBm of optical output power from the integrated EDFA. Applications Microwave Antenna Signal Distribution Broadband Delay-line and Signal Processing Systems The unit can be used to construct transparent optical links for microwave signal distribution, microwave delay lines, point-to-point data links and other applications where it is necessary to transport RF and microwave signals over long distances without signal degradation. The unit operates at a nominal optical wavelength of 1550 nm and ITU wavelengths are available for CWDM and DWDM applications.
