Calibration of wavelength/optical frequency measurement instruments - Part 1: Optical spectrum analyzers

IEC 62129-1:2016 specifies procedures for calibrating an optical spectrum analyzer that is developed for use in fibre-optic communications and designed to measure the power distribution of an optical spectrum. It does not apply to an optical wavelength meter that measures only centre wavelengths, a Fabry-Perot interferometer or a monochromator that has no display unit. This first edition of IEC 62129-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62129, published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:- update of term and definitions;- update of calibration conditions;- calculation change of uncertainties related to wavelength temperature dependence, power linearity, power level temperature dependence;- move of Annex E to the bibliography.Keywords: calibrating an optical spectrum analyser

Calibration of optical spectrum analyzers

This International Standard provides procedures for calibrating an optical spectrum analyzer designed to measure the power distribution of an optical spectrum. This analyzer is equipped with an input port for use with a fibre-optic connector. An optical spectrum analyzer is equipped with the following minimum features: a) the ability to present a display of an optical spectrum with respect to absolute wavelength; b) a marker/cursor that displays the optical power and wavelength at a point on the spectrum display.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
