Telecom Optical Amplifiers

Thorlabs' optical amplifiers for telecom applications are available as complete benchtop systems or as pigtailed butterfly packages. Our praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber amplifiers (PDFAs) and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) are available as benchtop systems or as PXIe plug-in modules. We offer semiconductor optical amplifiers (BOAs or SOAs) as benchtop systems, as well as high-speed amplifier instruments with built-in drivers and electronics for sub-nanosecond switching. We also offer InP/InGaAsP or GaAs/InGaAs semiconductor optical amplifiers (BOAs or SOAs) in pigtailed butterfly packaging.
