Resumen (inglés):
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:
-small-signal gain;
-reverse small-signal gain;
-maximum small-signal gain;
-maximum small-signal gain wavelength;
-maximum small-signal gain variation with temperature;
-small-signal gain wavelength band;
-small-signal gain wavelength variation;
-small-signal gain stability;
-polarization-dependent gain variation.
