17、ICAL COMMISSION _ CALIBRATION OF FIBRE-OPTIC POWER METERS 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-op

18、eration 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

19、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 pr

20、eparation. 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 co

21、nsensus 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 effort

22、s 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 Publication

23、s 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and ca

24、nnot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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

25、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 Publicati

26、on 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 Publicati

27、on may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61315 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995. It co

28、nstitutes a technical revision. Changes from the previous edition of this International Standard consist of adapting the uncertainty calculations to the approach taken by the GUM, and adapting the terminology and graphical symbology to international standards VIM, IEC 61931 and IEC 61930. The import

29、ance of the nonlinearity calibration is emphasized by giving more detail and is now in a separate clause. 61315 IEC:2005 7 Requirements concerning organization and traceability have been taken out of this standard since they are general requirements concerning calibration laboratories and are given

30、in IEC/ISO 17025. The goal to standardize the type of power meter specifications has been removed since it does not belong in a standard on calibration. Specifications should, however, still be based on calibrations made following this standard and IEC 60359. The text of this standard is based on th

31、e following documents: FDIS Report on voting 86/239/FDIS 86/248/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee h

32、as decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised ed

33、ition, or amended. 61315 IEC:2005 9 INTRODUCTION Fibre-optic power meters are designed to measure optical power from fibre-optic sources as accurately as possible. This capability depends largely on the quality of the calibration process. In contrast to other types of measuring equipment, the measur

34、ement results of fibre-optic power meters usually depend on many conditions of measurement. The conditions of measurement during the calibration process are called calibration conditions. Their precise description must therefore be an integral part of the calibration. This International Standard def

35、ines all of the steps involved in the calibration process: establishing the calibration conditions, carrying out the calibration, calculating the uncertainty, and reporting the uncertainty, the calibration conditions and the traceability. The absolute power calibration describes how to determine the

36、 ratio between the value of the input power and the power meters result. This ratio is called correction factor. The measurement uncertainty of the correction factor is combined following Annex A from uncertainty contributions from the reference meter, the test meter, the setup and the procedure. Th

37、e calculations go through detailed characterizations of individual uncertainties. It is important to know that: a) estimations of the individual uncertainties are acceptable; b) a detailed uncertainty analysis is only necessary once for each power meter type under test, and all subsequent calibratio

38、ns can be based on this one-time analysis, using the appropriate type A measurement contributions evaluated at the time of the calibration; c) some of the individual uncertainties can simply be considered to be part of a checklist, with an actual value which can be neglected. Calibration according t

39、o Clause 5 is mandatory for reports referring to this standard. Clause 6 describes the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty of a calibrated power meter operated within reference conditions or within operating conditions. It depends on the calibration uncertainty of the power meter as calculated

40、 in 5.3, the conditions and its dependence on the conditions. It is usually performed by manufacturers in order to establish specifications and is not mandatory for reports referring to this standard. One of these dependences, the nonlinearity, is determined in a separate calibration (Clause 7). NOT

41、E Fibre-optic power meters measure and indicate the optical power in the air, at the end of an optical fibre. It is about 3,6 % lower than in the fibre due to Fresnel reflection at the glass-air boundary (with N = 1,47). This should be kept in mind when the power in the fibre has to be known. 61315

42、IEC:2005 11 CALIBRATION OF FIBRE-OPTIC POWER METERS 1 Scope This international standard is applicable to instruments measuring radiant power emitted from sources which are typical for the fibre-optic communications industry. These sources include laser diodes, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and fibre-

43、type sources. The radiation may be divergent or collimated. The standard describes the calibration of power meters to be performed by calibration laboratories or by power meter manufacturers. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this docu
