光放大器.第9部分:半导体光放大器（SOA）

[中文适用范围]： 本部分为IEC 61292的技术报告，描述了半导体光放大器(SOAs)的特性，包括增益波纹和偏振相关增益(PDG)的具体特性。 本文档主要关注SOAs的放大应用。其他应用，如调制、开关和非线性功能，不在本文档范围内。 SOAs的潜在应用，如用于种子波分复用无源光网络(WDM-PON)的反射式SOAs(RSOAs)，在附录A中进行了回顾。 [外文原描述]： IEC TR 61292-9:2023 which is a Technical Report, describes the characteristic features of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), including the specific features of gain ripple and polarization dependent gain (PDG). This document focuses on amplifying applications of SOAs. Other applications, such as modulation, switching and non-linear functions, are not covered. Potential applications of SOAs, such as reflective SOAs (RSOAs) for the seeded wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON), are reviewed in Annex A. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - revised definitions for SOAs in 3.1; - added more theoretical background on gain ripple measurements using amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectrum in 4.3; - removed the formerly preferred set-up for output power and PDG measurements in Clause 5.
