COMMUNICATIONS MODULES & SUBSYSTEMS
Compact, Low Cost Single-Channel or Narrow Band Amplifiers
OA 400 Amplifier Series
Key Features
• Compact, MSA compatible package size, 70 x 90 x 12 mm
• Small signal gain, ~24 dB
• Saturated output power, ~15 dBm
• Wide dynamic range
Applications
• Single-channel and narrowband
amplification
• Boost tunable laser sources
• Power equalization and flexible
pre-emphasis
• Compensation of switching and
signal grooming loss
The JDSU OA 400 Amplifier Series provides C-band optical amplification in an
economical and compact package. It is designed for use in dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) telecommunication systems, at points where the
signal is not multiplexed. It can also be used in edge or access networks, where
gain flattening is not required.
Fully qualified JDSU grating-stabilized 980 nm pump lasers provide the stability
of operation and reliability required by today's highest speed DWDM systems.
The OA 400 can provide up to 24 dB small signal gain and up to 15 dB saturated
output power, with a noise figure of less than 6 dB across the entire C band. The
amplifier is delivered in a 70 x 90 x 12 mm platform, which supports a Multi-
Source Agreement. The OA 400 performs as a preamplifier, a line amplifier, and a
booster amplifier.
JDSU has extensive experience with the development of fully functioning erbium
doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), and can design high-performance optical
amplifier products that meet your time-to-market requirements.

User Safety
The invisible laser light emitted from this
module is harmful to the human eye.
Proper laser safety eyewear must be worn
during operation.
ESD Protection
The laser diodes and photodiodes contained
in this module are very reliable under
normal operating conditions. However, they
are easily destroyed by inadvertent
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take extreme
precaution to prevent ESD. Use wrist straps,
grounded work surfaces, and antistatic
techniques when operating this module.
When not in use, the fiber amplifier must
be kept in a static-free environment with
the shorting plug covering the connector.
