    (PM): the benchtop systems (Item # EDFA100S / EDFA100P with 20 dBm output power and EDFA300S / EDFA300P with 24.5 dBm output power) and the plug-in PXIe cards (Item # EDFA100SX / EDFA100PX with 20 dBm output power and EDFA300SX / EDFA300PX with 24.5 dBm output power). The benchtop amplifier is built as a stand-alone system with built-in power supply and user interface, while the PXIe module is designed to be operated inside a standard PXIe chassis (not sold by Thorlabs).

The EDFA100PX and EDFA300PX PM amplifiers are polarization sensitive, only amplifying light that is linearly polarized along the slow axis of PM FC/APC connector. The input and output fibers of the PM amplifiers are polarization maintaining fiber (PM1550-XP) and the connector keys are aligned to the slow axis of the fibers.
