Introduction
General Information
This user’s manual for the MAP EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) Cassette contains
complete operating instructions. The inspection report and a description of any customer-
requested information are included with the Customized Features and Test Data Report
included in the shipping box. For information about the MAP System, see the Multiple
Application Platform (MAP) User’s Manual (JDS Uniphase Part Number 10108925).
The MAP EDFA Cassette is a high-power, optical amplifier instrument ideal for network
development, or live network applications.
Optics
The optics of the MAP EDFA Cassette consist of an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) gain
block with supporting optical components specifically designed to achieve maximum output
power at the bulkhead-mounted optical connector while minimizing input/output isolation.
Key Features
• Saturated output power to 20 dBm (depending on model)
• High small signal gain up to 37 dB
• Low noise figure (NF) down to 3.3 dB
• Bulkhead optical output connectors (FC/HPC, FC/APC, SC/HPC, SC/APC)
• Pump power control
• LED alarms
• Monitors
Applications
The MAP EDFA Cassette can be used for pre-amplifier, booster and high power booster
amplifier emulation, optical network compliance tests, sensors, and live network applications.
Figure 5 illustrates how an MAP EDFA Cassette can be interconnected for optical transmission
system testing.
