13、FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical 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

14、 electrical and electronic fields. To this 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 t

15、o technical committees; any IEC National 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 Internationa

16、l Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 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 te

17、chnical committee has representation from 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 Pu

18、blications is accurate, IEC cannot be held 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 n

19、ational and regional publications. Any divergence 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 t

20、o be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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 Comm

21、ittees for any personal injury, property damage 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 t

22、o the Normative references cited in this publication. 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

23、held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally

24、 published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC 61292-1, which is a technical report, 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 pu

25、blished in 1998. It is a technical revision with updates reflecting new technology. 4 TR 61292-1 IEC:2009(E) The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 86C/853/DTR 86C/871/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical

26、 report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. A list of all parts of the IEC 61292 series, published under the general title Optical amplifiers, can be found on the IEC website. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The comm

27、ittee 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. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a rev

28、ised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this technical report may be published later. TR 61292-1 IEC:2009(E) 5 OPTICAL AMPLIFIERS Part 1: Parameters of amplifier components 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 61292, which is a technical report, applies to optical components of rare-earth do

37、e following terms and definitions apply. 5.1 Active fibre The active fibre is used as gain media in OFA. Rare earth ion is generally doped in the core region of fibre to produce signal amplification, an Er 3+ion is applied for 1550-nm band OFA such as an erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA). Erbium d

38、oped fibre (EDF) absorbs light with a TR 61292-1 IEC:2009(E) 7 wavelength of 980 nm or 1 480 nm for pumping, and emits infrared light with a wavelength in the 1 550-nm region. Optical amplification is realized utilizing stimulated emission of 1 530-nm luminescence. 5.1.1 active fibre maximum input s

41、, expressed in ps (pico second) NOTE 1 When an optical signal travels through an optical fibre, optical component or subsystem (such as an OFA), the change in the shape and width of the pulse due to the differential group delay (DGD) (the propagation delay difference between the two principal states

42、 of polarization (PSPs) and to the waveform distortion for each PSP, is due to PMD. PMD, together with polarization dependent loss (PDL) and polarization dependent gain (PDG), may introduce large waveform distortions leading to an unacceptable bit error ratio increase. NOTE 2 The level of PMD may de

48、ing temperature temperature to be maintained for normal operating condition, given in the relevant detail specification NOTE Amplification characteristics of active fibre strongly depend on its temperature. Thus, EDF in the many EDFA unit is maintained with the certain constant temperature. Many EDF

49、A units include heater device or TEC in order to control active fibre temperature. Fibre operating temperatures of 40 C 70 C are usually specified as operating temperature. Some of fixed gain EDFAs (especially smaller packaged EDFA), do not include this feature. 5.2 Pump laser A pump laser is used to provide excitation energy for active fibre. By introducing the strong pumping light from a pump laser to active fibre, the signal light will be am
