What is PD IEC/TR 61292-4 - Maximum permissible optical power for Optical amplifiers about?
PD IEC/TR 61292-4 discusses optical amplifiers with a focus on maximum permissible optical power for the damage-free and safe use of optical amplifiers, including raman amplifiers. PD IEC/TR 61292-4 is the fourth part of the PD IEC/TR 61292 multi-series of optical amplifiers that applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs), including optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres, as well as Raman amplifiers. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) using semiconductor gain media are also included. PD IEC/TR 61292-4 provides a simple informative guideline on the threshold of high optical power that causes high-temperature damage of fibre. PD IEC/TR 61292-4 discusses optical safety for manufacturers and users of optical amplifiers by reiterating substantial parts of existing standards and agreements on eye and skin safety.
