They can be used as boosters at the transmission side of a link, preamplifiers at the receive side, or inline amplifiers at the mid-span. Output power and gain can be controlled by the end user, and gain tilt occurs whenever the set gain differs from the OFG. In the following table “Single Channel” refers to non-gain flattened amplifiers, WDM to gain flattened ones.

Compact VGAs combine the ubiquity of the EDFA MSA form factor (90x70mm) with the advanced feature of a variable gain range; with up to 20dBm output power. Other VGAs with a larger form factor enable more complex functions and higher output power (up to 23dBm). VGAs find their application as booster, pre, or inline amplifiers, and are all suitable for WDM applications, their gain spectrum being flat.
