What is BS EN 61290-5-2- Electrical spectrum analyser method about?
BS EN 61290-5-2 is a part of an international multi-series standard that discusses test methods for optical amplifiers.
BS EN 61290-5-2 applies to optical fiber amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibers, containing rare earth dopants, presently commercially available.
BS EN 61290-5-2 is about the electrical spectrum analyser measurement methods for OFA reflectance. It specifies related abbreviated terms, required apparatus, test samples, test procedures, calculation and test results.
Who is BS EN 61290-5-2- Electrical spectrum analyser method for?
BS EN 61290-5-2 on electrical spectrum analyser method for optical amplifiers is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of optical amplifiers
- Electronics/electrical engineers
- Electricians
- Fiber optic installers
- Fiber optic technicians
- Testing laboratories
- Testing authorities of optical amplifiers
Why should you use BS EN 61290-5-2- Electrical spectrum analyser method?
The technology of optical amplifiers is rapidly evolving thus, it is essential that some guidelines should be availed for the standardization of this technology. As it’s a process in progress amendments and new additions to BS EN 61290-5-2 can be expected.
BS EN 61290-5-2 establishes uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the electrical spectrum analyser test method, of the following OFA parameters, as defined in IEC 61291-1:
- Input reflectance
- Output reflectance
BS EN 61290-5-2 describes the input reflectance, that enables you the determination of the OFA input reflectance with the use of an optical branching device, isolator, receiver, and an ESA. It also talks about output reflectance, which enables the OFA output reflectance to be determined using a probe signal that has 10 dB (‡) or much less power than the input signal.
BS EN 61290-5-2 helps with the calibration of the optical branching device and the inherent reflectance of the test set-up. It also aids in executing the calculations for the analysis of optical spectrum and stating the test results.
BS EN 61290-5-2 assists with the necessary guidelines for the electrical spectrum analyser method of optical fiber amplifiers which helps you in your business.
