23、es to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified subsystems. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs), and waveguides (POWAs). NOTE 1 The applicability of the test met
24、hods described in the present standard to distributed Raman amplifiers is still under study. The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements of the following OA parameters, as defined in Clause 3 of IEC 61291-1:2012: a) nominal output signal po
25、wer; b) gain; c) reverse gain; d) maximum gain; e) maximum gain wavelength; f) maximum gain variation with temperature; g) gain wavelength band; h) gain wavelength variation; i) gain stability; j) polarization-dependent gain; k) large-signal output stability; l) saturation output power; m) maximum o

The object of this standard is specifically directed to single-channel amplifiers. For multichannel amplif

The a
31、im of the first procedure (see IEC 61290-1-1) is to determine the optical power and gain by means of the optical spectrum analyzer test method. The aim of the second procedure (see IEC 61290-1-2) is to determine the optical power and gain by means of an optical detector and an electrical spectrum an
32、alyzer. The aim of the third procedure (see IEC 61290-1-3) is to determine the optical power and gain by means of an optical power meter and an optical bandpass filter. 5 Optical power and gain parameters The parameters listed below are required for gain and power: a) Nominal output signal power: Th
33、e nominal output signal power is given by the minimum output signal optical power, for an input signal optical power specified in the relevant detail specification, and under nominal operating conditions, given in the relevant detail specification. To find this minimum value, input and output signal
34、 power levels shall be continuously monitored for a given duration of time and in presence of changes in the state of polarization and other instabilities, as specified in the relevant detail specification. The measurement procedures and calculations are described in each test method. b) Gain: The m
35、easurement procedures and calculations are described in each test method. c) Reverse gain: As in b), but with the OA operating with the input port used as output port and vice-versa. d) Maximum gain: As in b), but use a wavelength-tuneable optical source, repeat all procedures at different wavelengt
36、hs in a way to cover the wavelength range specified in the relevant detail specification. Unless otherwise specified, the wavelength should be changed by steps smaller than 1 nm () around the wavelength where the ASE spectral profile, observed (e.g. with an optical spectrum analyzer or a monochromat
37、or) without the input signal, takes its maximum value. NOTE 1 A wavelength measurement accuracy of 0,01 nm, within the operating wavelength range of the OA, is attainable with commercially available wavelength meters based on interference-fringes counting techniques. Some tuneable external-cavity la
38、ser-diode instruments provide a wavelength measurement accuracy of 0,2 nm. The gain values are measured at the different wavelengths as described in b) above. The maximum gain shall be given by the highest of all these gain values at nominal operating BS EN 61290-1:2015IEC 61290-1:2014 IEC 2014 7 co

42、ethod: 1) As described in b), measure the maximum gain Gmax-Tmpwithin the variation of temperature, as specified in the relevant detail specification. 2) As described in b), measure the minimum gain Gmin-Tmpwithin the variation of temperature, as specified in the relevant detail specification. 3) Ma
43、ximum gain variation with temperature Gtmpis given by the following formula: Gtmp= Gmax-tmp Gmin-tmp (dB) 1 Refer to Figure 3. Gain variation with temperature may depend on the signal wavelength owing to its active fibre characteristics. The wavelength at which the parameter is specified and measure

The gain wavelength band shall be given by the wavelength interval(s) comprised between those wavelengths within which the gain is comprised between the maximum gain value and a value N dB below t
46、he maximum gain. Calculations are processed according to the following procedure. 1) Plot the gain of each wavelength to the gains of adjacent wavelengths as shown in Figure 2. 2) Draw a horizontal line N -dB down from the maximum gain point. 3) The two or more intersection points define the gain wa
47、velength band. The minimum difference in N -dB down wavelengths is gain wavelength band. NOTE 2 A value of N = 3 is typically applied. h) Gain wavelength variation: Measure the maximum gain and minimum gain over the specified measurement wavelength range as described in d). The gain variation shall
48、be the difference between the maximum and the minimum gain values. Calculations are processed according to the following procedure. 1) Plot the gain of each wavelength as shown in Figure 4. 2) Find the maximum gain, Gmax-l(dB) within wavelength band. 3) Find the minimum gain, Gmin-l(dB) within wavel
49、ength band. 4) Calculate the gain wavelength variation, Gl(dB) by the following formula: Gl= Gmax-l Gmin-l(dB) 2 BS EN 61290-1:2015IEC 61290-1:2014 IEC 2014 9 Signal gain(dB)Signal wavelength (nm)Gain wavelength variationWavelength bandlminlmaxGmin-lGlGmax-lIECFigure 4 Typical behaviour of the gain as a function of the wavelength i) Gain stability: The maximum degree of gain fluctuation of the maximum and minimum signal gain, for a certain specified te
