This part of IEC 62074 applies to fibre optic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices.
These have all of the following general features:
? They are passive, in that they contain no optoelectronic or other transducing elements; but
they may use temperature control only the purpose to stabilize the characteristics of devices; they exclude any optical switching function.
? They have three or more ports for the entry and/or exit of optical power, and share optical
power among these ports in a predetermined fashion depending on the wavelength.
? The ports are optical fibres or optical fibre connectors.
This standard establishes uniform requirements for the optical, mechanical and environmental
properties.
