Qualification program for packaged lightwave sources and detectors.
28 October 1986
This memo describes the product qualification program for packaged lightwave sources and detectors. The qualification testing regimen is designed to demonstrate that the product will perform reliably over its intended lifetime, and that it is robust enough to withstand the expected thermal and mechanical insults encountered during installation and use. The tests and testing procedures are similar to the qualification tests specified by customers of lightwave devices and/or integrated circuits.
