This standard BS EN 61290-5-2:2004 Optical fibre amplifiers. Basic specification. Test methods for reflectance parameters is classified in these ICS categories:
33.180.30 Optic amplifiers
Applies to optical amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, presently commercially available. The object is to establish 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: a) input reflectance; b) output reflectance.
