Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62324- Raman gain efficiency?
The Raman gain efficiency of fibre varies with signal wavelength when measured with a specific pump source. Consequently, Raman gain efficiency ER (λ s) is measured over a range of signal wavelengths.
PD IEC/TR 62324 describes the method for measuring Raman gain efficiency using unmodulated continuous waves generated by a signal source and a pump source. PD IEC/TR 62324 gives guidance on how to choose the pump power level and spectral width.
PD IEC/TR 62324 gives you detailed information about the arrangement of apparatus needed, explains the preparation of sampling and testing the specimens, and helps the users to execute the calculations for estimating the Raman gain efficiency.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC/TR 62324:2007 supersedes PD IEC/TR 62324:2003 which is withdrawn. PD IEC/TR 62324:2007 constitutes a technical revision.
PD IEC/TR 62324:2007 differs from the first in that in the previous edition, the paragraph before Figure 2, there approximated the relationship between wavelength and optical frequency led to some inconsistencies in interlaboratory agreement. This approximation has been removed.
