What is BS EN 62129-2 - Calibration of wavelength about?
BS EN 62129-2 is the second part of a multi-series standard used for Calibration of wavelength/optical frequency measurement instruments.
BS EN 62129-2 is applicable to instruments measuring the vacuum wavelength or optical frequency emitted from sources that are typical for the fiber-optic communications industry. These sources include Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diodes, External Cavity lasers and single longitudinal mode fiber-type sources. It is assumed that the optical radiation will be coupled to the wavelength meter by a single-mode optical fiber.
BS EN 62129-2 describes the calibration of wavelength meters to be performed by calibration laboratories or by wavelength meter manufacturers. BS EN 62129-2 is part of the IEC 62129 series on the calibration of wavelength/optical frequency measurement instruments. Refer to IEC 62129 for the calibration of optical spectrum analyzers.
Who is BS EN 62129-2 - Calibration of wavelength for?
BS EN 62129-2 on Calibration of wavelength is useful for:
- Manufacturer of electronic equipment
- Fiber-optic communications industry
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS EN 62129-2 - Calibration of wavelength?
Michelson interferometers are designed to measure the wavelength of an optical source as accurately as possible. BS EN 62129-2 specifies the preparation for performing calibration process. This helps in determining the ratio between the value of the input reference wavelength and the wavelength meter's result.
With the help of BS EN 62129-2 you can measure the uncertainty of the correction factor. This helps in estimating the individual uncertainties in this calibration process. By applying BS EN 62129-2, you can perform this calibration of wavelength process for measuring the optical frequency.
