Toner Cable PONA 2100 User Manual

The EMCORE PONA 2100 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier
(EDFA) is an ideal building block for OEM system integrators. The fam­ily of PONA 2100 series EDFA’s is designed to meet the most demand­ing noise performance requirements of CATV applications, and per­forms all the functions required of an optical amplifier for system inte­gration. Packaged in a convenient 1 RU housing, the PONA 2100
series EDFA’s provide optical isolation on the input and output of the
gain block for stable, low noise operation. The input and output optical
signal power levels are detected for monitoring and control. The input
optical signal is amplified with active gain control for a constant output
power level, or with active output power control for constant gain
mode. The PONA 2100 series EDFA’s also provide monitors and asso­ciated alarms for all vital characteristics. The optical output of the
PONA 2100 series EDFA’s can be split into multiple ports by an option­al external splitter.

OPTICAL / ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

GENERAL & MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Notes:

1) Unless stated otherwise, all specifications apply over the full operating temperature and humidity ranges

2) Measurement variations

3) Measured with 8 evenly spread input optical signals @ 25°C, ∑Pin ≈ 0 dBm (Measuring with 1 input optical signal with Pin
≈ 0 dBm and λ ≈ 1550 nm is also possible. (Low Noise Figure options with NF ≤ 4.0/4.5 dB are available for some models)

4) Measured with a swept Probe Signal (Pp), where Pp ≈ 0 dBm @ 25°C

5) Measured with a swept Probe Signal (Pp), and a fixed Tone Signal (Pt) @ ~ 1550 nm; (Pt ≈ Pp+20 dB; Pt + Pp ≈ 0 dBm)
@ 25°C; Gain Flattened Options with ΔG ≤ +/-0.75dB or ΔG ≤ +/-1.0dB are available (for some models)

6) Over polarization and temperature

7) Static and Dynamic Gain Flatness for PONA 2130 can be defined for 1545 nm ≤λ≤1562 nm and by special request only. (Please
contact your Sales Representative)

8) Specific NF and ΔG can be guaranteed at a single specified Input Optical Power Level (Pin = Pt + Pp) different from 0 dBm.
