booster to gain distance above 60km

In my experience I would say you probably have dirty connectors, and all
you need to do is to clean all connections along the fiber or possibly
straighten out any too tight bends you might have.

You only gave us the output at the far end. We also need the output
directly from the module to calculate the optical power budget.

Note that the fiber attenuation is higher at 1310 nm than 1550 nm. So you
will gain extra power just by switching to 1550 nm modules. Amplifiers only
work at 1550 nm. Typical loss is 0.4 dB/km at 1310 and 0.3 dB/km at 1550.
With new fiber it can be as low as 0.22 dB/km at 1550. With a power budget
of 23 dB that is more than 100 km. You will however lose a little to
insertion loss in the WDM.

To work with 1550 nm you would buy two 1550 nm DWDM modules. Remember to
use different channels on each module:

You will need a DWDM Mux type A in one end of the link and type B in the
other end:

Type A:

Type B:
http://www.fiberstore.com/2-channels-type-b-1ru-rack-mount-simplex-bidi-dwdm-mux-demux-p-30544.html

You will actually only need one channel, but they do not appear to have
that. So you get another channel, which you could use to make a dual 10
Gbps link.

This should work without amplifiers for the given distance. If you do want
to add amplification, you could either amplify the output of the module
with a booster or you could amplify the input to the module with a preamp.
I have no experience in doing that, so I can not tell which option is
better. The booster is slightly cheaper.

Regards,

Baldur
