What is BS EN 62343-5-1- Dynamic gain tilt equalizer about?
BS EN 62343-5-1 is a safety standard on dynamic modules.
BS EN 62343-5-1 contains the measurement method of gain tilt settling time for a dynamic gain tilt equalizer (DGTE) to change its gain tilt from an arbitrary initial value to the desired target value.
BS EN 62343-5-1 provides a method, device, or mechanical fixture for temporarily aligning two fibre ends into a reproducible, low-loss joint.
Who is BS EN 62343-5-1- Dynamic gain tilt equalizer for?
BS EN 62343-5-1 on gain tilt settling time measurement is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of optical amplifiers
- Manufacturers of DWDM system
- Manufacturers of apparatus
- Testing authorities
- Module builders, designers, and developers
Why should you use BS EN 62343-5-1- Dynamic gain tilt equalizer?
The DGTE is categorized into three control methods.
The direct control type is driven directly by voltage or current; the digital control type is operated by a digital control system with digital signals, and the analogue control type is operated by analogue signals. The definition and the measurement method of gain tilt settling time for DGTE are different for the three control types. BS EN 62343-5-1 also shows the configuration of operating systems and the correction for temperature dependency for three control types of DGTE. BS EN 62343-5-1 indicates the typical methods of the correction for temperature dependency.
Overall, BS EN 62343-5-1 is useful as it assists with the gain tilt settling time of the DGTE that depends on ambient temperature.
