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.
