DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 61290-1-3 PDF

This part of IEC 61290-1 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OA) and optically amplified subsystems. It applies to OA using optically pumped fibres (OFA based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOA), and waveguides (POWA). NOTE – The applicability of the test methods described in the present standard to distributed Raman amplifiers is for further study. The object of this part of IEC 61290-1 is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the optical power meter test method, of the following OA parameters, as defined in IEC 61291-1: c) nominal output signal power; d) gain; e) polarization-dependent gain; f) maximum output signal power; g) maximum total output power. NOTE – All numerical values followed by (‡) are suggested values for which the measurement is assured. Other values can be acceptable upon verification. This part of IEC 61290-1 applies to single-channel amplifiers. For multichannel amplifiers, the IEC 61290-10 series applies.
