Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Fibre optic WDM devices - Part 1: Generic specification

This part of IEC 62074 applies to fibre optic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices. These have all of the following general features:
• they are passive, in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements; however they may use temperature control only to stabilize the device characteristics; they exclude any optical switching functions;
• they have three or more ports for the entry and/or exit of optical power, and share optical power among these ports in a predetermined fashion depending on the wavelength;
• the ports are optical fibres, or optical fibre connectors. This standard establishes uniform requirements for the following:
• optical, mechanical and environmental properties.

L'IEC 62074-1:2014 s'applique aux dispositifs de multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde (WDM) à fibres optiques, dont les caractéristiques générales sont les suivantes:
- ils sont passifs, en ce qu'ils ne contiennent aucun élément optoélectronique ni autre élément de transduction;
- mais ils peuvent utiliser une commande de température uniquement dans le but de stabiliser les caractéristiques des dispositifs;
- ils excluent toute fonction de commutation optique ils possèdent au moins trois ports pour l'entrée et/ou la sortie de la puissance optique et partagent la puissance optique entre ces ports d'une façon prédéterminée en fonction de la longueur d'onde;
- les ports sont des fibres optiques ou des connecteurs à fibres optiques. La présente norme spécifie les exigences uniformes pour: les propriétés optiques, mécaniques et environnementales. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 2009; elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- mise à jour significative des définitions;
- ajout des Annexes informatives C à G présentant des exemples d'informations techniques relatives aux dispositifs WDM.

Ta del standarda IEC 62074 velja za optične elemente za valovno dolžinsko multipleksiranje (WDM). Ti elementi imajo vse naslednje splošne značilnosti:
• so pasivni in ne vsebujejo nobenih optoelektronskih ali drugih prevodnih elementov; kljub temu morda uporabljajo elemente za nadzor temperature za stabilizacijo lastnosti naprave; ne vsebujejo optičnih preklopnih funkcij;
• imajo vsaj tri vrata za vhod in/ali izhod optične moči, ki si optično moč delijo na predhodno določen način, odvisno od valovnih dolžin;
• vrata so optična vlakna ali optični konektorji. Ta standard uvaja enotne zahteve za:
• optične, mehanske in okoljske lastnosti.

FIBRE OPTIC INTERCONNECTING DEVICES AND
PASSIVE COMPONENTS – FIBRE OPTIC WDM DEVICES –

Part 1: Generic specification

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 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 to 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 International 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 technical 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
Publications 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 national 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 Committees 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 to 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 held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62074-1 has been prepared by subcommittee SC 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2009, and constitutes
a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) substantial updating to the definitions;
b) the addition of informative Annexes C to G, giving examples of technical information
concerning WDM devices.

FDIS Report on voting
86B/3700/FDIS 86B/3722/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62074 series, published under the general title Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components – Fibre optic wdm devices, can be found on
the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability 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 revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-731, as well
as the following, apply.
3.1 Basic term definitions
3.1.1
port
optical fibre or optical fibre connector attached to a passive device for the entry and/or exit of
the optical power
3.1.2
transfer matrix
optical properties of a fibre optic wavelength-selective branching device can be defined in
terms of an n x n matrix of coefficients, where n is the number of ports, and the coefficients
represent the fractional optical power transferred between designated ports
Note 1 to entry: A detailed explanation of the transfer matrix is shown in Annex A. The ports are numbered
sequentially, so that the transfer matrix is developed to show all ports and all possible combinations. The port
numbering is arbitrary.
Note 2 to entry: Figure 1 below shows an example of a six-port device, with two input ports and four output ports.
This WDM device can operate as four input ports and two output ports for their reciprocity characteristics. Also, it
shall be noted that a combination of input and output port number can be selected, for example, 1 input port and 5
output ports, 3 input ports and 3 output ports and so on, especially for bi-directional transmission system
application. Refer to Annex B.
