26、nical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To thi
27、s end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National
28、Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) i
29、n accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from
30、all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held
31、 responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any div
32、ergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication
33、. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property d
34、amage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this p
35、ublication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or al
36、l such patent rights International Standard IEC 61290-10-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 86C: Fibre optic systems and active devices, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. It is a technical revision with updated
37、 references and cautions on proper use of the procedure. This International Standard is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61291-1. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 86C/778/CDV 86C/809/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this stan

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication.

41、 the subject of optical fibre amplifiers. The technology of optical fibre amplifiers is still rapidly evolving, hence amendments and new editions to this standard can be expected. 61290-10-1 IEC:2009 7 OPTICAL AMPLIFIERS TEST METHODS Part 10-1: Multichannel parameters Pulse method using an optical s
42、witch and optical spectrum analyzer 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 61290 applies to optical amplifiers (OAs) using active fibres and waveguides, containing rare-earth dopants, currently commercially available. The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and rel
43、iable measurements of the signal-spontaneous noise figure as defined in IEC 61291-1. The test method independently detects amplified signal power and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power by launching optical pulses into the OA under test and synchronously detecting “on“ and “off“ levels of the
44、 output pulses by using an optical sampling switch and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). Such measurement is possible because the gain response of the rare-earth doped OA is relatively slow, particularly in Er-doped OAs. However, since the OA gain dynamics vary with amplifier types, operating cond
45、itions and control schemes, the gain dynamics should be carefully considered when applying the present test method to various OA. The manufacturer of the OA should present data validating the required modulation frequency to limit the error to 1 dB. The measurements for obtaining this information ar
46、e described in Annex C. The test method is described basically for multichannel applications, which includes single channel applications as a special case of multichannel (wavelength-division multiplexed) applications. NOTE All numerical values followed by () are currently under study. 2 Normative r
