TAFA3000

The TAFA3000 is an integrated high-performance externally modulated transmitter and erbium doped fiber amplifier with guaranteed performance over the 0.0518 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.

Features of the TAFA3000 are:(1)integrated 1550 nm DFB source, microwave Mach-Zehnder optical modulator and single-stage isolated 980nm-pumped 19 dBm EDFA; (2)0.05 --18 GHz specified bandwidth; (3)high dynamic range; (4)high optical output power - up to 19 dBm; (5)internal splitter options for multiple optical outputs; (6)thermally controlled for stable operational from -40 to +70.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.

The absolute maximum ratings of the TAFA3000 can be summarized as:(1)storage temperature range:-40 to 70;(2)optical output power:13 to 19dbm;(3)wavelength:1550±6nm;(4)RF input power range:0 to 25dbm;(5)frequency range:0.05MHz to 18GHz.The information given herein, including the specifications and dimensions, is subject to change without prior notice to improve product characteristics.
