IEC TR 61292-9:2023 RLV

Optical amplifiers - Part 9: Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs)
IEC TR 61292-9:2023 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition. IEC TR 61292-9:2023 which is a Technical Report, describes the characteristic features of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), including the specific features of gain ripple and polarization dependent gain (PDG). This document focuses on amplifying applications of SOAs. Other applications, such as modulation, switching and non-linear functions, are not covered. Potential applications of SOAs, such as reflective SOAs (RSOAs) for the seeded wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON), are reviewed in Annex A. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - revised definitions for SOAs in 3.1; - added more theoretical background on gain ripple measurements using amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectrum in 4.3; - removed the formerly preferred set-up for output power and PDG measurements in Clause 5.
