Overview
EN 61753-381-6:2016 (IEC 61753-381-6:2016) is a performance standard for Gaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) intended for single bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems. It defines the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and severities a cyclic AWG must satisfy to be classified under Category O (uncontrolled environment) according to IEC 61753-1. The standard specifically applies to cyclic AWGs with free spectral range (FSR) properties that enable multiple spectral-band operation and covers devices having single‑mode non‑connectorized pigtails and no printed circuit board.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and classification
- Requirements to meet IEC 61753‑1 Category O (uncontrolled environment).
- Focus on cyclic AWGs with Gaussian passband profiles and FSR characteristics for multi‑band WDM.
- Performance parameters
- Spectral transfer characteristics (channel shape and passband).
- Optical insertion loss and loss uniformity across channels.
- Polarization dependent loss (PDL), return loss and directivity.
- Group delay, chromatic dispersion and phase ripple.
- Dimensional and mechanical conformity.
- Environmental and mechanical tests
- A defined suite of environmental stresses (temperature, humidity cycling, damp heat) and mechanical tests (vibration, shock, fibre/cable retention, torsion, static side load).
- Sequencing, grouping and sample sizes for tests (see Annex A).
- Test methods
- References to IEC 61300 series test procedures (e.g., IEC 61300‑3‑29 for spectral transfer, IEC 61300‑3‑2 for PDL, IEC 61300‑3‑38 for group delay).
- Requirement for initial test measurements and reporting format.
Applications and users
- Who uses this standard
- AWG manufacturers, optical component designers and test laboratories specifying performance for cyclic AWG devices.
- Network equipment vendors and system integrators deploying single bidirectional WDM links across multiple spectral bands.
- Procurement and qualification teams validating components for uncontrolled (outdoor or non‑climate‑controlled) environments.
- Practical applications
- Multi‑band WDM networks where cyclic AWGs provide channel routing over repeated spectral bands (owing to FSR).
- DWDM/CWDM modules for metro, access and transport systems that require predictable passband shape and stability under environmental stress.
Related standards
- IEC 61753‑1 (general category definitions for optical component environments)
- IEC 61300 series (basic test and measurement procedures)
- IEC 61753‑081‑2 (related connector performance)
- ITU‑T recommendations G.692, G.694.1 and G.698.3 (optical interfaces and spectral grids)

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Category O (uncontrolled environment)
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61753 contains the minimum initial test and measurement requirements and
severities which a Gaussian-passband-profile cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) for
single bidirectional transmission systems satisfies in order to be categorised as meeting the
requirements of IEC 61753-1 for category O (uncontrolled environment). This standard
pertains to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with multiple spectral-band usage.
This standard covers the requirements of cyclic AWG devices with free spectral range (FSR)
characteristics to ensure multiple spectral bands transmission performance. The requirement
covers devices with single-mode non-connectorized pigtails and no electric circuit board.
