SOAs are sensitive to parasitic laser cavities. Especially a laser cavity can easily take place between a non-isolated input laser diode and the SOA. This must be avoided. It is recommended to add an isolator before and, sometimes, after the SOA. With this option, an isolator is provided with PM780 fiber and FC/APC fiber connectors. The isolation level is typically 25 dB (min 22 dB), Insertion loss is typically <1dB (max 1.3 dB) - Optical power handling is 500 mW max.
