Pertains to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified assemblies. Also pertains to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based either on rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs), and waveguides (POWAs).

This part of IEC 61291 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified assemblies. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based either on rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs), and waveguides (POWAs). The object of this standard is:

  • to establish uniform requirements for transmission, operation, reliability and environmental properties of OAs;

  • to provide assistance to the purchaser in the selection of consistently high -quality OA products for his particular applications.

Parameters specified for OAs are those characterizing the transmission, operation, reliability and environmental properties of the OA seen as a “black box?? from a general point of view. In the sectional and detail specifications a subset of these parameters will be specified according to the type and application of the particular OA device or assembly.
