scope:

This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test andmeasurement requirements and severities which aGaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG)for single bidirectional transmission systems satisfies in order tobe categorised as meeting the requirements of IEC 61753-1 forcategory O (uncontrolled environment). This standard pertains towavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with multiplespectral-band usage. This standard covers the requirements ofcyclic AWG devices with free spectral range (FSR) characteristicsto ensure multiple spectral bands transmission performance. Therequirement covers devices with single-mode non-connectorizedpigtails and no electric circuit board.
