MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier
Erbium Doped Fiber Preamplifier
DATASHEET | SEPTEMBER 2013
FIBER OPTICS
EMCORE’s MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier Erbium Doped Fiber Gain Block Module is
an ideal building block for system integrators to extend the fiber link for long-haul signal
transport. The MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier series gain blocks are designed to meet
the most demanding noise performance requirements of fiber optic communications and
control systems and performs all the functions required of an optical preamplifier for system
integration.
The MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier provides output optical isolation for stable, low
noise operation. The output optical signal power level is detected for monitoring and
control. The very low level input optical signal is amplified with active output power control
for constant current mode operation.
Applications
The compact mechanical footprint of the MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier allows using
this unit to be installed in small space environments.
