DIN EN 61291-1:2013-02

This part of IEC 61291 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified assemblies. It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based either on rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs), and waveguides (POWAs). The object of this standard is: - to establish uniform requirements for transmission, operation, reliability and environmental properties of OAs; - to provide assistance to the purchaser in the selection of consistently high-quality OA products for his particular applications.
