This International Standard applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified modules. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibers (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibers or on the Raman effect), semiconductor OAs (SOAs) and waveguides (POWAs).
Applies to optical fibre amplifiers using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, presently commercially available. Establishes uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the optical spectrum analyzer test method, of the following OFA parameters: - small-signal gain; - reverse small-signal gain; - maximum small-signal gain; - maximum small-signal gain wavelength; - maximum small-signal gain variation with temperature; - small-signal gain wavelength band; - small-signal gain wavelength variation; - small signal gain stability; - polarization-dependent gain variation.
Applies to optical fibre amplifiers using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, presently commercially available. Establishes uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the optical spectrum analyzer test method, of the following OFA parameters: - nominal output signal power; - large-signal output stability; - saturation output power; - maximum input signal power; - maximum output signal power; - input power range; - output power range; - maximum total output power.
IEC 61290-1-1:2015 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified modules. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductor OAs (SOAs) and planar optical waveguide amplifiers (POWAs). The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the optical spectrum analyzer test method, of the following OA parameters, as defined in IEC 61291-1: - nominal output signal power; - gain; - polarization-dependent gain; - maximum output signal power; - maximum total output power. The object of this standard is specifically directed to single-channel amplifiers. For multichannel amplifiers, one should refer to the IEC 61290-10 series. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: updates on the characteristics of measurement apparatus and revised list of addressed optical amplifier parameters. Keywords: optical amplifiers, optical spectrum analyzer test, single-channel amplifiers
