PDFA100 O-Band Fiber Amplifier - Thorlabs
Description
Thorlabs' Praseodymium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (PDFA) offers high gain (>20 dB small signal gain), high output power (>16 dBm), and a low noise figure (<8 dB), making it ideal for use within optical networks as either a booster amplifier or preamplifier. As Pr ions in silica transition to a lower excited state nonradiatively, these PDFAs are designed and manufactured by Thorlabs using proprietary fluoride fiber. The PDFA incorporates a relatively short length of PDF, which results in a signal latency <100 ns.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PDFA100 O-Band Fiber Amplifier is used as either a booster amplifier or preamplifier in optical networks.
The PDFA100 eliminates distortion effects typically associated with SOAs, such as cross-gain modulation and pattern dependence, due to its high saturation energy and slow gain dynamics.
The PDFA100 has a small signal gain of greater than 20 dB.
The PDFA100 has an output power of greater than 16 dBm.
The PDFA100 has a noise figure of less than 8 dB.
