2 General Information
2.1 Safety precautions
To ensure a high level of operator safety during installation, commissioning and operating
the equipment, as well as ensuring that the equipment remains undamaged, it is necessary
to consider the following general warnings.
Installation, commissioning, operation and service are only allowed to be

carried out by an authorised person:
Only a person trained in the safety of fiber optical systems can handle and
operate the equipment
The test equipment is intended for / to be used (safe extra low voltage) in this
environment only.
Use only standard or optional accessories supplied by your distributor
Use only the equivalent connector types to those built into the instrument in
order to avoid damage to the instrument components.
During storage and operation the equipment must be kept clean
Do not cover the ventilation holes
The PC ON/OFF switch located on the front controls the microcomputer
operation only. For total deactivation of the device use both switches located
at the rear
After a power outage the device will automatically restart at the previous
status
2.2 Optical interface connection:

Take note of the safety rules for lasers class 3b
Use only the relevant optical connectors
Optical connectors must be clean
Visual check of optical connectors using a 400x magnification microscope must
be performed before connection
In case the connectors are not perfectly clean please clean them according to
the procedure described in the technical specification for the
relevant
connectors
It is recommended to terminate the unused ports, specially CATV version, with
appropriate, terminators defined for max output power.
Please note, the integrated protective dust cap is not designed to eliminate
light emissions from output port.
2.3 Laser classification

A laser is a light source that can be dangerous to the people exposed to it. Even low power
lasers can be hazardous to eyesight. A person exposed to laser radiation (especially
invisible radiation) may be unaware that damage is occurring. Some lasers are so powerful
that even the diffuse reflection from a surface can be hazardous to the eye. Laser radiation
predominantly causes eye injury via thermal effects on the retina. A transient increase of
only 10 C can destroy retinal photoreceptors
Lasers have been classified by wavelength and maximum output power into four classes
and a few subclasses since the early 1970s. The classifications categorize lasers according
to their ability to produce damage in exposed people, from class 1 (no hazard during
normal use) to class 4 (severe hazard for eyes and skin). There are two classification
systems, the "old system" used before 2002, and the "revised system" being phased in
since 2002. The latter reflects the greater knowledge of lasers that has been accumulated
since the original classification system was devised, and permits certain types of lasers to
be recognized as having a lower hazard than was implied by their placement in the original
classification system. The revised system is part of the revised IEC 60825 standard. From
2007, the revised system is also incorporated into the US-oriented ANSI Laser Safety
Standard (ANSI Z136.1). Since 2007, labeling according to the revised system is accepted
by the FDA on laser products imported into the US. The old and revised systems can be
distinguished by the 1M, 2M and 3R classes used only in the revised system and the 2A
and 3A classes used only in the old system. Class numbers were designated using Roman
numerals (IIV) in the US under the old system and Arabic numerals (14) in the EU. The
revised system uses Arabic numerals (14) in all jurisdictions.
The classification of a laser is based on the concept of accessible emission limits (AEL) that
are defined for each laser class. This is usually a maximum power (in W) or energy (in J)
that can be emitted in a specified wavelength range and exposure time. For infrared
wavelengths above 4 m, it is specified as a maximum power density (in W/m2). It is the
responsibility of the manufacturer to provide the correct classification of a laser, and to
equip the laser with appropriate warning labels and safety measures as prescribed by the
regulations. Safety measures used with the more powerful lasers include key-controlled
operation, warning lights to indicate laser light emission, a beam stop or attenuator, and
an electrical contact that the user can connect to an emergency stop or interlock
Below, the main characteristics and requirements for the classification system from 2002
are listed, along with typical required warning labels. Additionally, classes 2 and higher
must have the triangular warning label shown here and other labels are required in specific
cases indicating laser emission, laser apertures, skin hazards, and invisible wavelengths
Class 1
A class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use. This means the maximum
permissible exposure (MPE) cannot be exceeded. This class includes high-power lasers
within an enclosure that prevents exposure to the radiation and that cannot be opened
without shutting down the laser. For example, a continuous laser at 600 nm can emit up to
0.39 mW, but for shorter wavelengths, the maximum emission is lower because of the
potential of those wavelengths to generate photochemical damage. The maximum
emission is also related to the pulse duration in the case of pulsed lasers and the degree of
spatial coherence.

Class 1M
A Class 1M laser is safe for all conditions of use except when passed through magnifying
optics such as microscopes and telescopes. Class 1M lasers produce large-diameter beams,
or beams that are divergent. The MPE for a Class 1M laser cannot normally be exceeded
unless focusing or imaging optics are used to narrow the beam. If the beam is refocused,
the hazard of Class 1M lasers may be increased and the product class may be changed. A
laser can be classified as Class 1M if the total output power is below class 3B but the
power that can pass through the pupil of the eye is within Class 1.
Class 2
A Class 2 laser is safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25
seconds. It only applies to visible-light lasers (400700 nm). Class-2 lasers are limited to 1
mW continuous wave, or more if the emission time is less than 0.25 seconds or if the light
is not spatially coherent. Intentional suppression of the blink reflex could lead to eye injury.
Many laser pointers are class 2.
Class 2M
A Class 2M laser is safe because of the blink reflex if not viewed through optical
instruments. As with class 1M, this applies to laser beams with a large diameter or large
divergence, for which the amount of light passing through the pupil cannot exceed the
limits for class 2.
Class 3R
A Class 3R laser is considered safe if handled carefully, with restricted beam viewing. With
a class 3R laser, the MPE can be exceeded, but with a low risk of injury. Visible continuous
lasers in Class 3R are limited to 5 mW. For other wavelengths and for pulsed lasers, other
limits apply.
Class 3B
A Class 3B laser is hazardous if the eye is exposed directly, but diffuse reflections such as
from paper or other matte surfaces are not harmful. Continuous lasers in the wavelength
range from 315 nm to far infrared are limited to 0.5 W. For pulsed lasers between 400 and
700 nm, the limit is 30 mJ. Other limits apply to other wavelengths and to ultrashort
pulsed lasers. Protective eyewear is typically required where direct viewing of a class 3B
laser beam may occur. Class-3B lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety
interlock.
Class 4
Class 4 lasers include all lasers with beam power greater than class 3B. In addition to
posing significant eye hazards, with potentially devastating and permanent eye damage as
a result of direct beam viewing, diffuse reflections are also harmful to the eyes within the
distance called the Nominal Hazard Zone. Class 4 lasers are also able to cut or burn skin.
In addition, these lasers may ignite combustible materials, and thus represent a fire risk, in
some cases. Class 4 lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.

13 EDFA education and Application note

If you never work with optical amplifier and especially with EDFA optical
amplifier, please, read this chapter before using.
13.1
EDFA education
You get knowledge in this chapter some basic information about EDFA system
of amplification, what`s mean under term EDFA and basic EDFA block scheme
and its function.
What`s mean under term EDFA

EDFA is acronym for Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier. This principle don`t need
convert the optical signal to the electric signal. The amplification is provided in the
special optical fiber which is doped by Erbium element. The Erbium doped fiber is
used as gain medium. The optical signal comes into Erbium Doped Fiber together
and is mixed with next energy in form pump signal and input signal is amplified
trough interaction with the doping ions. Erbium element is used because Erbium
ions can be efficiently pumped with a laser at wavelength 980nm or 1480. The
Gain is in 1550nm wavelength region.
EDFA optical amplifier can be used for amplification at C-Band only!
EDFA block scheme
Picture 28 - EDFA block scheme
APC connector are using by all EDFA optical amplifier. The output optical level
is often very high and high optical level can damage connector with help effect of
back reflection.
Each EDFA involves isolator for protection against reverse connection
Each Inputs and Outputs are monitored by monitor diodes for better settings of
optical properties and for feedback control electronic.
Various EDFA units can involve more than one pump laser diodes. By these
pump diodes are measured values like current, temperature, current temperature
control etc. These measured values are same as values from monitor diodes
connect to control electronic for control operational modes APC and AGC.
59
EDFA Operational modes

Each EDFA unit can work in four operational modes. These modes were
created for independent work of optical amplifier on the optical trace. User have to
set properties of each operational mode only and control electronic control gain or
output power according to user`s settings.
EDFA unit can work in the following four operational modes:
Operational mode Description
Pump diodes are shutdown.
OFF
The EDFA unit don`t amplify
Amplifier Power Control
APC
User set constant output optical level
Amplifier Gain Control
AGC
User set constant gain
Amplifier Current Control
ACC
User set constant
Table 13 - EDFA operational modes
