Optical fibre amplifiers - Basic specification - Part 1-1: Test methods for gain parameters - Optical spectrum analyzer IEC 61290-1-1:1998 ED1

Publication date:   May 8, 1998

Scope

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.
