- Scope
- This part of IEC 61290 applies to optical fibre amplifiers (OFA) using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, currently commercially available. The object of this International Standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable 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 OFA under test. The ASE level is measured by synchronously measuring the power on an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) during the optical pulse off period. The average optical signal level is measured by random sampling in the OSA.
