IEC/TR 61292-6 Ed. 2.0 en:2023 PDF

This part of IEC 61292, which is a Technical Report, relates to distributed Raman amplification (DRA). Its main purpose is to provide background material for future standards related to DRA, such as specifications, test methods and operating procedures. This document covers the following aspects:
– general overview of Raman amplification;
– applications of DRA;
– performance characteristics and test methods related to DRA;
– operational issues relating to the deployment of DRA.
As DRA is a relatively new technology, and still rapidly evolving, some of the material in this document can become obsolete or irrelevant in a fairly short period of time. This document will be updated frequently to minimize this possibility.
