Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 7-1: Out-of-band insertion losses - Filtered optical power meter method IEC 61290-7-1:2007 ED2

Publication date:   Apr 11, 2007

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 filtered optical power meter test method, of the following OFA parameters: - out-of-band insertion loss; - out-of-band reverse insertion loss. The main significant changes are the following: a) the applicability has been extended to all commercially available optical amplifiers, b) Clause 9, EMC, has been added.
