What is BS EN 62149-9 - Fibre optic active components and devices about?

BS EN 62149 is a series on fibre optic active components and devices. Fibre optic active components and devices s are electronic components made up of semiconductor materials that actively manipulate electrons to perform the intended function. BS EN 62149-9 covers the performance specification for seeded reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) transceivers used for fibre optic telecommunication and optical data transmission applications. The performance standard contains a definition of the product performance requirements together with a series of sets of tests and measurements with clearly defined conditions, severities, and pass/fail criteria. The tests are intended to be run on a “once-off” basis to prove any product’s ability to satisfy the performance standard’s requirements. A product that has been shown to meet all the requirements of a performance standard can be declared as complying with the performance standard but should then be controlled by a quality assurance/quality conformance program.
