Choose the optical mode and operating band first, then review mechanical fit, polarization, electrical control and the acceptable input-power range. A booster and a preamplifier need different noise and gain acceptance criteria.
Configuration options
| Configuration | Optical wavelength range | Output power | Noise figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard booster | 1525 to 1605 nm | ≤24 dBm | ≤5.5 dB |
| Standard preamplifier | 1525 to 1605 nm | ≤24 dBm | ≤3.7 dB |
| Gain-flat booster | 1524 to 1605 nm | ≤21 dBm | ≤5.5 dB |
| Gain-flat preamplifier | 1524 to 1605 nm | ≤21 dBm | ≤4.2 dB |
