Scope

The object of this test procedure is to measure several wavelength and spectral width properties of an optical spectrum associated with a fibre optic communication subsystem. The measurement is done for the purpose of system construction and/or maintenance. The optical transmitter is typically under modulation. NOTE - Different properties may be appropriate to different spectral types, such as continuous spectra characteristic of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and multilongitudinal mode (MLM) spectra and single-longitudinal mode (SLM) spectra, both characteristic of laser diodes (LDs). WARNING - Exercise care to avoid possible eye damage from looking into the end of an energized fibre from any light source. Most importantly, personnel should avoid looking into any energized fibre using any type of magnification device. The requirements in IEC 60825-1 should be followed.
