IEC 61290-2-1:1998 ED1

Optical fibre amplifiers - Basic specification - Part 2-1: Test methods for optical power parameters - Optical spectrum analyzer IEC 61290-2-1:1998 ED1

Publication date:   May 29, 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:

- 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.
