Introduction

Standard Overview

BS EN IEC 61753-081-06:2023 specifies the minimum performance requirements for non-connected single-mode fiber DWDM devices with channel spacing of 50GHz/100GHz/200GHz under OP+ environmental level. This standard applies to medium-scale arrayed waveguide grating devices with 16-64 channels, covering both Gaussian and flat-top channel configurations.

Core performance indicators

Parameters	Gaussian type requirements	Flat-top type requirements
Insertion loss	≤6.0dB(50GHz) ≤4.5dB(100/200GHz)	≤6.7dB(50GHz) ≤6.0dB(100/200GHz)
1dB bandwidth	≥0.25×Δf	≥0.4×Δf
Polarization dependent loss	≤0.75dB

Environmental test requirements

The standard specifies 7 types of harsh environmental tests:

1. Temperature cycle: 12 cycles in the range of -40℃~+75℃
2. Combined damp heat: 10 cycles of -10℃~+65℃ at 93% humidity
3. Mechanical vibration: 10-55Hz sinusoidal vibration (15 scans in each of the 3 axes)
4. Salt spray corrosion: 96 hours exposure to 5% NaCl solution
5. Dust test: 150μm talcum powder spray for 10 minutes
6. Fiber retention force: 10N pulling force for 60 seconds
7. High power test: 300mW@1550nm optical power for 30 minutes

After all tests, the insertion loss variation must be controlled within ±0.5dB.

Technology Evolution Analysis

Compared with the Class C environmental standard of IEC 61753-081-02, this version mainly strengthens:

• Temperature range is extended from -5℃~+70℃ to -40℃~+75℃
• Added salt spray and dust test items
• High power test conditions are increased from 200mW to 300mW
• The number of samples required is increased from 3 groups to 4 groups

Implementation Recommendations

Manufacturers should pay special attention to:

1. Use B-652.D/B-657 single-mode optical fiber as the test benchmark
2. Reserve 1.0m pigtail for testing on each port
3. Prepare 12-4 groups of samples according to the requirements of Table A.1
4. Sealed packaged devices can be exempted from humidity control testing
5. The test report must include the worst value under all polarization states
