SEMICONDUCTOR OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES
FOR FIBRE OPTIC SYSTEM APPLICATIONS –

Part 1: Specification template for essential ratings and characteristics


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 62007-1 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 1997, and its
Amendment 1 (1998). It is a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
1) The title has been changed to indicate that this is a template.
2) The definitions of some symbols and terms in IEC 62007-1 Ed.1 are revised in order to
harmonize them with those in other SC 86C documents. A dated part in IEC 62007-1 ed.1 is
removed and the other dated parts are updated.
NOTE The field of this standard will henceforth be placed under the responsibility of IEC technical committee 86:
Fibre optics.

Part 1: Specification template for essential ratings and characteristics



1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 62007 is a specification template for essential ratings and characteristics of
the following categories of semiconductor optoelectronic devices to be used in the field of fibre
optic systems and subsystems:
– semiconductor photoemitters;
– semiconductor photoelectric detectors;
– monolithic or hybrid integrated optoelectronic devices and their modules.
The object of this performance specification template is to provide a frame for the preparation
of detail specifications for the essential ratings and characteristics.
Detail specification writers may add specification parameters and/or groups of specification
parameters for particular applications. However, detail specification writers may not remove
specification parameters specified in this standard.
