Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition publiée en 2006. Il s'agit d'une révision technique comprenant les modifications significatives suivantes: les définitions liées au comportement transitoire ont été mises à jour en profondeur avec des termes de la série 61290-4 et la définition relative à l'ondulation du gain a été ajoutée.

Optični ojačevalniki - 1. del: Rodovna specifikacija (IEC 61291-1:2012)

Ta del standarda IEC 61291 se uporablja za vse komercialno dostopne optične ojačevalnike (OA) in optično ojačane sestave. Velja za optične ojačevalnike z optično črpanimi vlakni (OFA, ki temeljijo na dopiranih vlaknih redke zemljine ali Ramanovem efektu), polprevodniki (SOA) in valovodi (POWA). Namen tega standarda je: – določiti enotne zahteve za prenos, delovanje, zanesljivost in okoljske lastnosti optičnih ojačevalnikov; – zagotoviti pomoč kupcu pri izbiri visoko kakovostnih optičnih ojačevalnikov, ki bodo ustrezali njegovi uporabi. Parametri, ki so določeni za optične ojačevalnike, označujejo prenos, delovanje, zanesljivost in okoljske lastnosti optičnega ojačevalnika, ki je na splošno videti kot „črna skrinjica“. V področnih in podrobnih specifikacijah bo določena podmnožica teh parametrov glede na tip in uporabo posameznega optičnega ojačevalnika ali sestava.

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

Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 4-3: Power transient parameters - Single channel optical amplifiers in output power control
SIST EN IEC 61290-4-3:2018

IEC 61290-4-3:2018 applies to output power controlled optically amplified, elementary sub‑systems. It applies to optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres containing rare‑earth dopants, presently commercially available, as indicated in IEC 61291-1, as well as alternative optical amplifiers that can be used for single channel output power controlled operation, such as semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The object of this document is to provide the general background for optical amplifiers (OAs) power transients and their measurements and to indicate those IEC standard test methods for accurate and reliable measurements of the following transient parameters: a) transient power response; b) transient power overcompensation response; c) steady-state power offset; d) transient power response time. The stimulus and responses behaviours under consideration include the following: 1. channel power increase (step transient); 2. channel power reduction (inverse step transient); 3. channel power increase/reduction (pulse transient); 4. channel power reduction/increase (inverse pulse transient); 5. channel power increase/reduction/increase (lightning bolt transient); 6. channel power reduction/increase/reduction (inverse lightning bolt transient). These parameters have been included to provide a complete description of the transient behaviour of an output power transient controlled OA. The test definitions defined here are applicable if the amplifier is an OFA or an alternative OA. However, the description in Annex A concentrates on the physical performance of an OFA and provides a detailed description of the behaviour of an OFA; it does not give a similar description of other OA types. Annex B provides a detailed description background of the dynamic phenomenon in output power controlled amplifiers under transient conditions and Annex C details the impact of speed of transient inputs.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: alignment of the measure of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) relative to signal power with the definition in IEC 61290-3-3.

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 document is - to establish uniform requirements for transmission, operation, reliability and environmental properties of OAs, and - to provide assistance to the purchaser in the selection of consistently high-quality OA products for his particular applications. Parameters specified for OAs are those characterizing the transmission, operation, reliability and environmental properties of the OA seen as a "black box" from a general point of view. In the sectional and detail specifications a subset of these parameters will be specified according to the type and application of the particular OA device or assembly. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - terms have been added for parameters from IEC 61290-4-3 and IEC 61290-10-5; - Clause 4 Classification has been removed, since this system is judged to be unused; - the definition of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) has been simplified.

Optical amplifiers - Part 5-2: Qualification specifications - Reliability qualification for optical fibre amplifiers
SIST EN 61291-5-2:2017

IEC 61291-5-2:2017(E) applies to optical amplifiers (OAs) and optically amplified, elementary sub-systems for terrestrial applications, using active fibres (optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs)) containing rare-earth dopants, which are commercially available. The black box approach is used in this document. The black box approach is adopted in order to give product specifications which are independent of OA implementation details. For reliability qualification purposes, some information about the internal components is needed; these internal parts are themselves treated as black boxes. This document gives requirements for the evaluation of OA reliability by combining the reliability of such internal black boxes. The object of this document is to specify the minimum list of reliability qualification tests, requirements on failure criteria during testing and on reliability predictions, and give the relevant normative references to establish a standard method for the assessment of the reliability of OFA devices and sub-systems in order to minimize risks and to promote product development and reliability qualification. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. It constitutes a technical revision.

Optical amplifiers - Test methods - Part 4-1: Gain transient parameters - Two-wavelength method
SIST EN 61290-4-1:2017

IEC 61290-4-1:2016 applies to optical amplifiers (OAs) using active fibres (optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs)) containing rare-earth dopants including erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) and optically amplified elementary sub-systems. These amplifiers are commercially available and widely deployed in service provider networks. The object of document is to provide the general background for OFA transients and related parameters, and to describe a standard test method for accurate and reliable measurement of the following transient parameters: - channel addition or removal transient gain overshoot and transient net gain overshoot; - channel addition or removal transient gain undershoot and transient net gain undershoot; - channel addition or removal gain offset; - channel addition or removal transient gain response time constant (settling time). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - extended the applicability from only EDFAs to all OFAs; - updated definitions for consistency with other documents in the IEC 61290-4 series. Keywords: optical amplifiers (OAs), optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs), rare-earth dopants, erbium-doped fibre amplifiers
