IEC 62149-3:2014

Fibre optic active components and devices - Performance standards - Part 3: Modulator-integrated laser diode transmitters for 2,5-Gbit/s to 40-Gbit/s fibre optic transmission systems

IEC 62149-3:2014 covers the performance specification for optical modulators monolithically integrated with laser diodes for 2,5 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s multi-channel fibre optic transmission systems. This performance standard contains a definition of the product performance requirements together with a series of sets of tests and measurements with clearly defined conditions, severities and pass/fail criteria. The tests are intended to be run as an initial design verification to prove any product's ability to satisfy the performance standard's requirements. This standard is only applicable for on-off keying format. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical change with respect to the previous edition is as follows: The performance standards covered by this standard are now extended to a 40 Gb/s-class system from their original 2,5 Gb/s. Keywords: optical modulators monolithically integrated, laser diodes, 2,5 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s multi-channel fibre optic transmission systems

Composants et dispositifs actifs à fibres optiques - Normes de performances - Partie 3: Emetteurs à diodes laser à modulateur intégré pour des systèmes de transmission à fibres optiques de 2,5 Gbit/s à 40 Gbit/s

L'IEC 62149-3:2014 couvre les spécifications de performance concernant les modulateurs optiques avec diodes laser intégrées de façon monolithique, destinés à des systèmes de transmission à fibres optiques à canaux multiples de 2,5 Gbit/s à 40 Gbit/s. La présente norme de performance donne une définition des exigences de performances de produits, ainsi qu'une série d'ensembles d'essais et de mesures, avec des conditions, des sévérités et des critères d'acceptation/de rejet clairement définis. Les essais sont prévus pour être réalisés à titre de vérification initiale de conception, pour prouver la capacité des produits à satisfaire aux exigences des normes de performance. La présente norme n'est applicable qu'au format de codage binaire. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2004, dont elle constitue une révision technique. La modification technique significative par rapport à l'édition précédente concerne les standards de performance couverts par la présente norme qui sont maintenant élargies pour inclure les systèmes de classe 40 Gb/s à partir des valeurs originales des systèmes 2,5 Gb/s. Mots clés: modulateurs optiques avec diodes laser intégrées de façon monolithique, diodes laser, systèmes de transmission à fibres optiques à canaux multiples de 2,5 Gbit/s à 40 Gbit/s

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 62149-3 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 2004 and constitutes a
technical revision.
The significant technical change with respect to the previous edition is as follows:
The performance standards covered by this standard are now extended to a 40 Gb/s-class
system from their original 2,5 Gb/s.
