Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Performance standard - Part 381-6: Cyclic Arrayed Waveguide Grating for category O - Uncontrolled environment (IEC 61753-381-6:2016)

This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and
severities which a Gaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) for
single bidirectional transmission systems satisfies in order to be categorised as meeting the
requirements of IEC 61753-1 for category O (uncontrolled environment). This standard
pertains to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with multiple spectral-band usage.
This standard covers the requirements of cyclic AWG devices with free spectral range (FSR)
characteristics to ensure multiple spectral bands transmission performance. The requirement
covers devices with single-mode non-connectorized pigtails and no electric circuit board.

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 61753-381-6 has been prepared by subcommittee 86B: Fibre optic
interconnecting devices and passive components, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.

This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and
severities which a Gaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) for
single bidirectional transmission systems satisfies in order to be categorised as meeting the
requirements of IEC 61753-1 for category O (uncontrolled environment). This standard
pertains to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with multiple spectral-band usage.
This standard covers the requirements of cyclic AWG devices with free spectral range (FSR)
characteristics to ensure multiple spectral bands transmission performance. The requirement
covers devices with single-mode non-connectorized pigtails and no electric circuit board.

The testing for DWDM devices does not require the use of reference components.
7 Performance requirements
7.1 Dimensions
Dimensions shall be in accordance with those given in appropriate manufacturers’ drawings.
7.2 Test details and requirements
Table 1 specifies the optical performance and related test methods for Gaussian passband
profile.
Table 2 defines the environmental and mechanical performance requirements and test
methods.
The operating wavelengths, unless otherwise specified, shall be in accordance with ITU
Recommendation G.692, G.694.1 and 698.3 (frequency spacing). Where devices with
wavelength spaced channels have to be considered the conversion should refer to vacuum
wavelength.
The value of "c" (speed of light in vacuum) that should be used for converting between frequency and
8
wavelength is 2,997 924 58 × 10 m/s.
Conformance to this standard requires demonstration of the ability to meet both the relevant
optical and the environmental parameters.
For connectorized components, the connector performances shall be in accordance with
IEC 61753-021-6.
