Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 3: Noise figure parameters (IEC 61290-3:2008)

This International Standard applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs), including OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and planar waveguide optical amplifiers (PWOAs). The object of this standard is to provide the general background for OA noise figure parameters measurements and to indicate those IEC standard test methods for accurate and reliable measurements of the following OA parameters, as defined in IEC 61291-1: a) noise figure (NF); b) noise factor (F); c) multiple path interference (MPI) figure of merit; d) signal-spontaneous noise figure; e) (equivalent) spontaneous-spontaneous optical bandwidth (Bsp-sp); f) forward amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power level; g) reverse ASE power level; h) ASE bandwidth. This standard addresses measurement of OAs that are to be used for amplifying single channels, that is signals from a single transmitter. Testing of OAs for multichannel use involves additional considerations, such as: the number, wavelengths and relative power of the signals, the ability to measure signals simultaneously and to measure the ASE between channels.

Amplificateurs optiques - Méthodes d'essais - Partie 3: Paramètres du facteur de bruit (CEI 61290-3:2008)

La CEI 61290-3:2008 concerne tous les amplificateurs optiques (AO) disponibles commercialement, y compris les AO utilisant des fibres pompées optiquement (AFO basées soit sur des fibres dopées aux terres rares, soit sur l'effet Raman), les amplificateurs optiques à semiconducteurs (AOS) et les amplificateurs optiques à guide d'onde planaire (PWOA: planar waveguide optical amplifiers). L'objet de cette norme est de fournir le contexte général pour les mesures des paramètres du facteur de bruit des AO et d'indiquer les méthodes d'essai normalisées de la CEI qui permettent la mesure précise et fiable des paramètres des AO, selon les définitions de la CEI 61291-1. Cette édition contient des mises à jour concernant particulièrement des types d'amplificateurs optiques supplémentaires, et met en évidence que la série CEI 61290-3 concerne les amplificateurs à un seul canal. Des références ont été ajoutées aux documents concernant les amplificateurs multicanaux.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to 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 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 61290-3 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, published in 2000, and constitutes
a technical revision. It includes updates to specifically address additional types of optical
amplifiers and to highlight that the IEC 61290-3 series pertains to single-channel amplifiers.
References have been added to the documents pertaining to multichannel amplifiers.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 4-2: Gain transient parameters - Broadband source method (IEC 61290-4-2:2011)
EN 61290-4-2:2011

This part of IEC 61290-4 applies to optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified elementary sub-systems. More specifically, it applies to OAs using active fibres (optical fibre amplifiers, OFAs) containing rare-earth dopants, such as erbium doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs), presently commercially available, as indicated in IEC 61291-1. The object of this part of IEC 61290-4 is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the broadband source method, of the transient response of OFAs to dynamic changes in their input power, as defined in IEC 61290-4-1:2011. The broadband source method is different from the two-wavelength method described in IEC 61290-4-1:- in that the saturating signal is not located at a single wavelength, but is rather spread out across the entire specified DWDM transmission band of the OFA-under-test (e.g. the C-Band, 1 525 nm to 1 565 nm). Thus, this method may be relevant to the characterization of transient events where the DWDM signals that are added or dropped are more or less uniformly spread across the transmission band. The difference between the two measurement methods is discussed in more detail in Annex A.

Optical amplifier test methods - Part 10-1: Multichannel parameters - Pulse method using an optical switch and optical spectrum analyzer (IEC 61290-10-1:2009)
EN 61290-10-1:2009

This part of IEC 61290 applies to optical amplifiers (OAs) using active fibres and waveguides, containing rare-earth dopants, currently commercially available. The object of this 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 OA under test and synchronously detecting "on" and "off" levels of the output pulses by using an optical sampling switch and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). Such measurement is possible because.

Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 3-2: Noise figure parameters - Electrical spectrum analyzer method (IEC 61290-3-2:2008)
EN 61290-3-2:2008

This part of IEC 61290 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs), including OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and planar waveguide optical amplifiers (PWOAs). The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the electrical spectrum analyzer (ESA) method, of the noise figure, as defined in IEC 61291-1. The present test method is based on direct electrical noise measurement and it is directly related to its definition including all relevant noise contributions. Therefore, this method can be used for all types of optical amplifiers, including SOA and Raman amplifiers which can have significant contributions besides amplified spontaneous emission, because it measures the total noise figure. For further details of applicability, see IEC 61290-3. An alternative test method based on the optical spectrum analyzer can be used, particularly for different noise parameters (such as the signal-spontaneous noise factor) but it is not included in the object of this standard.

Opticial amplifiers - Part 6-1: Interfaces - Command set (IEC 61291-6-1:2008)
EN 61291-6-1:2008

This part of IEC 61291 describes the optical amplifier command set (OACS) for use in communicating with and controlling intelligent optical amplifiers. These amplifiers can receive and possibly respond to such commands by using resident firmware or may be optical amplifiers controlled by a microprocessor. This standard addresses the structure and content of the command set to control optical amplifiers. It does not cover the physical or hardware interface, which is assumed to exist for communication of this command set to the optical amplifier. The specification of a physical interface will be the subject of a separate Part to be developed in the IEC 61291-6 series. The command set described in this standard is intended to enable a user or host to retrieve the amplifier module's status and/or adjust its settings. This standard lists all of the commands currently defined and supported within the OACS framework. The commands described cover a wide range of applications, and not all commands will be applicable to every amplifier. To determine the supported commands on an OACS compliant amplifier, please refer to the product specification supplied by the manufacturer. All OACS compliant amplifiers support the full set of "universal" OACS commands. Other commands, usually specific to a design or implementation, may support some or all of the "optional" commands.

Optical amplifiers - Test methods -- Part 11-1: Polarization mode dispersion parameter - Jones matrix eigenanalysis (JME)
EN 61290-11-1:2008

This part of IEC 61290 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs), including optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), and planar waveguide optical amplifiers (PWOAs). Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) causes an optical pulse to spread in the time domain. This dispersion could impair the performance of a telecommunications system. The effect can be related to differential group velocity and corresponding arrival times of different polarization components of the signal. For a narrowband source, the effect can be related to a differential group delay (DGD) between pairs of orthogonally polarized principal states of polarization (PSP). Other information about PMD may be found in IEC 61282-9 in general and in IEC 61292-5 on OAs in particular. This test method describes a procedure for measuring the PMD of OAs. The measurement result is obtained from the measurement of the normalized Stokes parameters at two closely spaced wavelengths. The test method described herein requires a polarized signal at the input of the polarimeter with a degree of polarization (DOP) of at least 25 %. Although the test source is highly polarized, the DOP at the output of the OA is reduced by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). Annex A analyses the impact of ASE on the DOP. In order to assure an accurate measurement, the DOP is measured as part of the measurement procedure. The method described herein has been shown to be immune to polarization-dependent gain (PDG) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) up to approximately 1 dB. Although the Jones matrix eigenanalysis (JME) test method is in principle also applicable to unpumped (that is, unpowered) OAs, the JME technique in this standard applies to pumped (that is, powered) OAs only.

Optical amplifiers - Test methods -- Part 10-4: Multichannel parameters - Interpolated source subtraction method using an optical spectrum analyzer
EN 61290-10-4:2007

This part of IEC 61290 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified subsystems. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and waveguides (POWA). The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the interpolated source subtraction method using an optical spectrum analyzer. The following OA parameters, as defined in Clause 3 of IEC 61291-1, are determined: channel gain, and channel signal-spontaneous noise figure. This method is called interpolated source subtraction (ISS) because the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) at each channel is obtained by interpolating from measurements at a small wavelength offset around each channel. To minimize the effect of source spontaneous emission, the effect of source noise is subtracted from the measured noise. The accuracy of the ISS technique degrades at high input power level due to the spontaneous emission from the laser source(s). Annex A provides guidance on the limits of this technique for high input power. An additional source of inaccuracy is due to interpolation error. Annex A provides guidance on the magnitude of interpolation error for a typical amplifier ASE versus wavelength characteristic.
