Overview
This International Standard is devoted to the subject of optical amplifiers. The technology of optical amplifiers is still rapidly evolving, hence amendments and new additions to this standard can be expected. Each abbreviation introduced in this International Standard is generally explained in the text the first time it appears. However, for an easier understanding of the whole text, a list of all abbreviations used in this International Standard is given in clause 3. This standard applies to single channel optical amplifier (OA) devices to be used in digital applications. For multichannel applications, use IEC 61291-4. The responsible Subcommittee is UK 412.2 "Komponenten für Kommunikationskabelanlagen" ("Components for communication cabling systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
