The EMCORE PONA 3000 Series Fiber Optical Amplifier Module is an ideal
building block for OEM system integrators. The family of PONA 3000 Optical
Amplifiers is designed to meet the most demanding noise performance
requirements of CATV and FTTx applications, and performs all the functions
required of an optical amplifier for system integration. PONA 3000 series
optical amplifiers 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 3000 series
optical amplifiers also provide monitoring functions and associated alarms for
all vital characteristics. The optical output of the PONA 3000 series optical
amplifiers can be split into number of ports by an optional internal splitter.
PONA3000 series includes AC/DC Power Supply, Front Panel, Optical
Splitters, network card and all necessary connectors.

Notes:
1. Unless stated otherwise all specifications apply over the full temperature range and humidity
2. Depending on the fiber optic patch cord interface the measured value can vary up to 0.5 dB less than the actual value.
3. Measured @ 25C,
Pin
= 0 dBm. Can be measured only after splitting output power
4. Measured with a swept Probe Signal (Pp), where Pp = 0 dBm @ 25C
5. Measured with a swept Probe Signal (Pp), and a fixed Tone Signal (Pt) @ 1553nm; (Pt = Pp+20 dB; Pt + Pp = 0 dBm) @
25C;
6. Stability over polarization and temperature
7. Premium version – PONA with cooled, Telecordia qualified pumps
Economy version – PONA with uncooled pumps

Block Diagram: Cladding Pump Technology
Cladding pump technology uses erbium/ytterbium fiber optic assemblies (double clad fiber and multi-mode pump lasers) to
produce cost effective high power optical amplification. This technology enables the development of higher power EDFAs-
something that was cost inhibitor when using standard Erbium fiber and single mode pumps.
