IEC TR 61292-4:20 23作为IEC TR 61292-4:20 23 RLV提供，其中包含国际标准及其红线版本，显示与上一版本相比技术内容的所有变化。IEC TR 61292-4:20 23这是一份技术报告，适用于所有市售光放大器(OA)，包括使用有源光纤的光纤放大器(OFA)以及拉曼放大器。还包括使用半导体增益介质的半导体光放大器。本文件提供了关于可能导致光纤高温损坏的高光功率阈值的信息性指南。还通过引用关于眼睛和皮肤安全的现有标准和协议的部分内容，讨论了光放大器制造商和用户的光学安全。本文件确定了以下损坏情况下光放大器中最大允许光功率的值-自由安全操作: -导致光纤热损伤(例如光纤熔丝和光纤涂层燃烧)的光功率限制； -眼睛/皮肤可以暴露而不会造成伤害的最大允许暴露(MPE)； -光纤中的光功率限制，其在从光纤自由空间传播之后在眼睛/皮肤上引起MPE； -通过比较a)和c)来确定用于光放大器的无损伤和安全操作的绝对允许光功率电平。 本文件的目的是最大限度地减少行业中潜在的混淆和误解，这些混淆和误解会导致不必要的警报，并阻碍先进光放大器技术在市场上的进步和接受。重要的是，读者应始终参考最新的国际标准和协议，因为相关技术正在迅速发展。本文件将通过纳入与OAs和OA支持的光学系统相关的各种研究结果来经常审查和及时更新。这第四版取消并取代了2014年出版的第三版。本版构成技术修订版。与上一版相比，该版本包括以下重大技术变化。 a)技术信息已更新，以反映相关参考文献的修订。 b)特别地，条款5和条款6中提供的描述已经被显著修改以反映引用参考文献中的变化。为了简化文档，删除了与参考文献重叠的不必要的公式和解释。 c)附录A中增加了关于当光进入光纤时光纤燃烧的新信息，其中包含由光纤熔丝形成的气泡串。

IEC TR 61292-4:2023 is available as IEC TR 61292-4:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC TR 61292-4:2023 which is a Technical Report, applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs), including optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres as well as Raman amplifiers. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) using semiconductor gain media are also included. This document provides informative guidelines on the threshold of high optical power that can cause high-temperature damage of the fibre. Also discussed is optical safety for manufacturers and users of optical amplifiers by quoting parts of existing standards and agreements on eye and skin safety. This document identifies the following values for maximum permissible optical power in the optical amplifier for damage-free and safe operation:
- the optical power limit that causes thermal damage to the fibre, such as fibre fuse and fibre-coat burning;
- the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to which the eyes/skin can be exposed without consequent injury;
- the optical power limit in the fibre that causes MPE on the eyes/skin after free-space propagation from the fibre;
- the absolute allowable optical power level for damage-free and safe operation of the optical amplifier by comparing a) and c).
The objective of this document is to minimize potential confusion and misunderstanding in the industry that can cause unnecessary alarms and hinder the progress and acceptance of advancing optical amplifier technologies in the market. It is important that the reader always refers to the latest international standards and agreements, because the technologies concerned are rapidly evolving. The present document will be frequently reviewed and updated in a timely manner by incorporating the results of various studies related to OAs and OA-supported optical systems. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.
a) The technical information has been updated to reflect revisions of the relevant references.
b) In particular, the descriptions provided in Clause 5 and Clause 6 have been modified significantly to reflect changes in the cited references. Unnecessary formulas and explanations that overlap with the references have been removed to simplify the document.
c) New information has been added to Annex A on optical fibre burning when light enters an optical fibre with a bubble train formed by a fibre fuse.
