This document deals with high power optical amplifiers. Its main purpose is to provide general information relating to high power optical amplifiers with an output power greater than 500 mW for the fibre communication field. It covers the following aspects: – General information; – Example of the optical amplifier’s configuration realising high optical output power; – Test method for optical output power and gain; – Considerations on high-power optical amplifiers. Potential applications of high-power optical amplifiers are briefly reviewed in Annex A. Informative IEC documents related to high optical power are listed in Annex B.
