9、61 (07/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff q

10、uestions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendat

11、ions on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendatio

12、n, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or

13、 applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance

14、with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or ap

15、plicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implem

16、ent this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based eith

21、er on rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs) and waveguides (POWAs). This Recommendation provides the definitions of the relevant parameters, common to the different types of OAs, listed in clause 5, and the test methods of said parameters described in clause 6, to be

22、 followed, as far as applicable, for OA devices and subsystems covered by ITU-T Recommendations. Parameter definitions applicable specifically to distributed Raman amplifiers, however, can be found in ITU-T G.665. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisio

35、ped with Erbium ions. The power amplifier is a high saturation-power OA device to be used directly after the optical transmitter to increase its signal power level. The pre-amplifier is a very low noise OA device to be used directly before an optical receiver to improve its sensitivity. The line amp

36、lifier is a low noise OA device to be used between passive fibre sections to increase the distance covered before regeneration is necessary or in correspondence with a point-multipoint connection to compensate for branching losses in the optical access network. The OAT is an OA subsystem in which a

37、power amplifier is integrated with an optical transmitter, resulting in a higher power transmitter. The OAR is an OA subsystem in which a pre-amplifier is integrated with an optical receiver, resulting in a higher sensitivity receiver. The distributed amplifier is a device configuration that provide

38、s amplification over an extended length of the optical fibre used for transmission, as by Raman pumping, and is thus distributed over part or all of the transmission span. The composite distributed and discrete amplifiers are defined in ITU-T G.665. 5 Definitions The list of parameter definitions of

39、 OAs, given in the following part of this clause, is divided into two parts: the first part lists those parameters relevant for OA devices, namely power, pre-, line-, distributed amplifiers and ONEs containing OAs; the second part lists the parameters relevant for optically amplified, elementary sub

40、systems, namely the optically amplified transmitter (OAT) and the optically amplified receiver (OAR). Where the value of a parameter is given for a particular device, it will be necessary to specify certain appropriate operating conditions such as temperature, bias current, pump optical power, etc.

41、In this clause, two different operating conditions are referred to: nominal operating conditions, which are those suggested by the manufacturer for normal use of the OA, and limiting operating conditions, in which all the parameters adjustable by the user (e.g., temperature, gain, pump laser injecti

42、on current, etc.) are at their maximum values, according to the absolute maximum ratings stated by the manufacturer. 4 ITU-T Rec. G.661 (07/2007) The OA is considered as a “black box“, as shown in Figure 1. The OA device has two optical ports, namely an input and an output port. The ONE, as shown in

43、 Figure 2, contains one or more OAs, which can be located at the input as well as at the output. The location and number of OAs depends on their function in the ONE. Some ONE examples are described in ITU-T G.680. Each ONE has, at a minimum, one input and one output. The ONE is considered as a “blac

44、k box“. The OAT and OAR are considered as an OA integrated with a transmitter or a receiver, respectively. Both kinds of integration imply that the connection between the transmitter or the receiver and the OA is proprietary and not to be specified. Consequently, only the optical output port can be

45、defined for the OAT (after the OA, as shown in Figure 3) and only the optical input port can be defined for the OAR (before the OA, as shown in Figure 4). The optical ports may consist of unterminated fibres or optical connectors. Electrical connections for power supply (not shown in Figures 1 to 4)

46、 are also necessary. Following this “black box“ approach, the loss of both pairs of connectors directly associated with the device (labelled C or C in Figures 1 to 4) and the corresponding uncertainty will be included within the values of gain, noise figure and other parameters of the OA device.

48、 two connector pairs are included in the black box OA or ONE rather than one. ITU-T reference planes normally account for connector losses differently, as indicated in ITU-T G.662. More complete treatment of this topic can be found in Appendix III of ITU-T G.665. The user is advised to take the appr

49、opriate loss differences into consideration. The OA amplifies signals in a nominal operating wavelength region. In addition, other signals outside of the band of operating wavelength can in some applications also cross the OA. The purpose of these out-of-band signals and their wavelength, or wavelength region, can be specified in the detailed specifications. When signals at multiple wavelengths are incident on the OA, as is the case in multichannel systems, suitable adjustment of the definitions of some existing relevant
