Summary (English):
Applies to optical fibre amplifiers using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, presently commercially available. Establishes uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the electrical spectrum analyzer test method, of the following OFA parameters:
- nominal output signal power;
- large-signal output stability;
- saturation output power;
- maximum input signal power;
- maximum output signal power;
- input power range;
- output power range;
- maximum total output power.
