IEC 62007-1:2008 provides a specification template for essential ratings and characteristics of the following categories of semiconductor optoelectronic devices to be used in the field of fibre optic systems and subsystems:
- semiconductor photoemitters;
- semiconductor photoelectric detectors; and
- monolithic or hybrid integrated optoelectronic devices and their modules.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- The title has been changed to indicate that this is a template;
- The definitions of some symbols and terms in IEC 62007-1 Ed.1 are revised in order to harmonize them with those in other SC 86C documents.
- A dated part in IEC 62007-1 ed.1 is removed and the other dated parts are updated.
Note: The field of this standard will henceforth be placed under the responsibility of IEC Technical Committee 86: Fibre optics.
