IEC 63032:2018

Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Fibre optic tuneable bandpass filters - Generic specification

IEC 63032:2018 applies to the family of tuneable bandpass filters. These components can modify the spectral intensity distribution in order to select some wavelengths and inhibit others.
They can be categorized into the following:
- wavelength tuneable;
- bandwidth tuneable;
- wavelength and bandwidth tuneable filter.
This document establishes uniform requirements for optical, mechanical and environmental properties.
Key words: tuneable bandpass filters

Dispositifs d'interconnexion et composants passifs fibroniques - Filtres fibroniques passe-bande accordables - Spécification générique

IEC 63032:2018 s'applique à la famille des filtres passe-bande accordables. Ces composants peuvent modifier la distribution de l'intensité spectrale afin de sélectionner certaines longueurs d'onde et d'en bloquer d'autres.
Ils peuvent être classés dans les catégories suivantes:
- filtre accordable en longueur d'onde;
- filtre accordable en largeur de bande;
- filtre accordable en longueur d'onde et en largeur de bande.
Le présent document établit des exigences uniformes relatives aux propriétés optiques, mécaniques et environnementales.
Mots clés : filtres passe-bande accordables

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 internati
