BS EN IEC 61291-1:2018 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 document isto establish uniform requirements for transmission, operation, reliability and environmental
properties of OAs, andto 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.Cross References:IEC 61290-5-2IEC 61290-7-1IEC 61290-1-1IEC 61290 (all parts)IEC 61290-10-1IEC 61290-3-1IEC 61290-10-5IEC 61290-4-1IEC TR 61931IEC 61291-5-2IEC 61290-11-2IEC 61290-4-3IEC 60050-731IEC 60825-1IEC 61290-5-3IEC 61290-3-2IEC 61290-1-2IEC 61290-10-2IEC 61290-5-1IEC 61290-1-3IEC 61290-10-4IEC 61290-4-2IEC 61290-11-1IEC 61290-10-3IEC 61291 (all parts)IEC 60874-1IEC 60825-2IEC 61290-1 (all parts)IEC 61000 (all parts)IEC 60793-2IEC 61290-3IEC 61290-2 (all parts)All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
