25、Part 10-5: Multichannel parameters Distributed Raman amplifier gain and noise figure 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 61290 applies to distributed Raman amplifiers (DRAs). DRAs are based on the process whereby Raman pump power is introduced into the transmission fibre, leading to signal amplifica

26、tion within the transmission fibre through stimulated Raman scattering. A detailed overview of the technology and applications of DRAs can be found in IEC TR 61292-6. A fundamental difference between these amplifiers and discrete amplifiers, such as EDFAs, is that the latter can be described using a

27、 black box approach with well-defined input and output ports. On the other hand, a DRA is basically a pump module, with the actual amplification process taking place along the transmission fibre. This difference means that standard methods described in other parts of IEC 61290 for measuring amplifie

28、r parameters, such as gain and noise figure, cannot be applied without modification. The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, using an optical spectrum analyser (OSA), of the following DRA parameters: a) channel on-off gain; b) pump uni

29、t insertion loss; c) channel net gain; d) channel signal-spontaneous noise figure. The measurement method is largely based on the interpolated source subtraction (ISS) method using an optical spectrum analyser, as described and elaborated in IEC 61290-10-4, with relevant modifications relating to a

30、DRA. All numerical values followed by () are suggested values for which the measurement is assured. Other values may be acceptable but should be verified.

37、d to the input of the fibre span, then both the incoming signal channels and Raman pump power are coupled to the fibre span. Note 2 to entry: If the pump module is connected to the output of the fibre span, then the pump power is coupled into the fibre span, while the signal channels exiting the fib

Note 3 to entry: In this standard, the convention will be used whereby the input port of the pump module is defined as the port into which the signal channels enter, while the output port is defined as the port through whic

39、h the signal channels exit. Thus, in co-propagating configuration the Raman pump power exits the pump module from the output port, while in counter-propagating configuration the Raman pump power exits the pump module from the input port. 3.1.6 channel on-off gain Gon-offratio of the channel power at

Figure 1 shows the application of DRAs in co-propagating (forw

45、ard pumping) and counter-propagating (backward pumping) configurations. As a general rule, counter propagating configuration is much more widely used compared to co-propagating configuration. As with any amplifier, one of the main parameters of interest is the channel gain (see IEC 61291-1 and IEC 6

46、1291-4). However, unlike discrete amplifiers, where the channel gain is simply defined as the ratio of the channel power at the output port to the channel power at the input port, with a DRA, the situation is more complex. In principle, the DRA includes both the pump module, which supplies the pump

47、power, and the fibre span, where the actual amplification takes place. Thus, one option for defining channel gain is to define it as the ratio of the channel power at point C (Figure 1) to the channel power at point A, while the pumps are operational. However, since this definition also include the

48、fibre span loss, which is often larger than the gain supplied by the Raman pumps, this definition is not very useful. A much more useful quantity is the channel on-off gain, which is defined as the ratio of the channel power at the output of the fibre span when the Raman pumps are on to the channel

49、power at the same point but when the pumps are off (see the graphs in Figure 1).

Another parameter of interest for DRAs is the pump module channel insertion loss, which is defined as the ratio of the channe
