What is BS EN 62149-2 - 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 are made up of semiconductor materials that actively manipulate electrons to perform the intended function. BS EN 62149-2 covers the performance specification for 850-nm discrete vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) devices of transverse multimode types used for fibre optic telecommunication and optical data transmission applications. BS EN 62149-2 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.
