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
CATV Systems
Long Distance RF/Microwave Fiber
Optic Communication Links
Sensing and Control Systems
High-Performance Supertrunking Links
High Power Distribution Networks
Redundant Ring Architectures
FTTx Networks
The compact mechanical footprint of the MAFA 1014-PA Optical Preamplifier allows using
this unit to be installed in small space environments.

Laser Safety Information
This component product does not meet the applicable requirements of 21 CFR 1010 & 1040 and is classified as a Class IIIb laser product
based on the maximum optical output power defined below. During use as intended, the laser energy is fully contained within the fiber
network such that there is no accessible laser radiation and would meet the requirements for a Class I laser product.
Wavelength = 1532 ~ 1565 nm (dependent on input source)
Maximum Output Power = 200 mW
