EDFA-Gain Block MAFA
from Emcore

The Emcore’s MAFA 5000 Series Micro Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (μEDFA) gain block module is an ideal building block for OEM systems integration where there is a requirement to amplify a 1550 nm signal for a broad range of applications including CATV systems, RF/microwave fiber optic links, sensing and control systems, and more. The family of MAFA 5000 EDFA gain blocks is designed to meet the most demanding noise performance requirements of fiber optic communications and control systems, and perform all the functions required of an optical amplifier for system integration.
