Optical amplifiers - Part 3: Classification, characteristics and applications

IEC TR 61292-3:2020 which is a Technical Report, establishes the classification of optical amplifiers (OAs). It also includes a brief description of each amplifier, its general properties, performance, configurations and applications. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:  
document architecture now focuses on EDFA, FRA and SOA;
the description of PDFA and TDFA has been moved to the annexes;
the EDWA description has been deleted;
information on single channel amplification, multi-channel amplification, configuration and control method for EDFA, FRA and SOA has been added;
information on future amplifiers, arrayed amplifiers and SDM amplifiers has been added.
