Page 5: Description
Chapter 3: Description Description Thorlabs’ EDFA100S and EDFA100P are core-pumped Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers that offer high gain, low noise, and high output power (>100 mW over most of the wavelength range). The amplifiers are offered in a compact, turnkey benchtop package with FC/APC input and output connectors. The current of the amplifier’s pump laser is adjustable through the instrument front panel, which allows the user to vary the output power and gain of the amplifier. -

FC bulkhead connector and the patch cable connector beforehand. Please note that a standard single mode (SM) 1550 nm cable should be used for the EDFA100S, while a standard polarization-maintaining (PM) 1550 nm cable should be used for the EDFA100P. Please also note that the input power entering the amplifier should not exceed 10 dBm (10 mW). -

20 °C to 30 °C range. Temperature adjustment is typically not needed for the operation of the EDFA100S and EDFA100P; generally speaking, optimal performance will result when the pump temperature is kept at the factory default of 25 °C. -
Page 10: Making Safety Interlock Connections
Making Safety Interlock Connections The EDFA100S and EDFA100P are equipped with a remote interlock connector located on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 1 on page 7. In order to enable the fiber amplifier, a short circuit must be applied across the terminals of the Remote Interlock connector. -

Do not look directly into the fiber receptacle. Use a viewing card to help determine whether the fiber amplifier is generating an output. The following table describes some typical problems that may be encountered while using the EDFA100S or EDFA100P and possible solutions to these problems. -
Page 14: General Maintenance
Aside from the AC input fuse, there are no user serviceable parts in this product. If you suspect something has failed in the unit, please contact Thorlabs for advice on returning the unit for evaluation. Always clean fiber optic connectors that will be inserted into the system and install the dust cap whenever the source is not being used. - Page 15 To use the card, peel back and tear away one small blue strip. Holding the connector firmly, swipe the connector tip across the exposed cleaning strip. The connector tip should be flush against the card surface (i.e., held at a slight angle) for FC/APC connectors. If you need additional connector cleaners, Thorlabs offers the FCC-7020 Fiber Cleaning Cloth Spool.
