(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).

C-Band Fiber Amplifier Modules Chapter 1: Introduction 28-J9). 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.
The wavelength range over which the output power (at 3 dBm input power) does not fall below 18 dBm. b. Specified at 1550 nm. Please refer to published data on Thorlabs’ website for typical curves showing the variation of each parameter.
The wavelength range over which the small signal gain (at -20 dBm input power) does not fall below 35 dB. b. Specified at 1550 nm. Please refer to published data on Thorlabs’ website for typical curves showing the variation of each parameter with wavelength.
