26、TIA/EIA-455-2011FOTP-201Return Loss of ConnectorizedPolarization-Maintaining or Polarizing FiberPigtailed Devices or Cable Assemblies_1. Introduction_1.1 IntentThis Standard specifies a procedure for the measurement of the return loss of afiber optic interconnection on single mode, highly linearly b
27、irefringent opticalfiber, i.e. either polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber or polarizing (PZ) fiber. Theconnector can be mounted on the PMF/PZF pigtail of a component or part of acable assembly. Return loss, as used in this Standard, is the ratio of powerincident on, or entering the DUT, to the total
28、 power reflected by the DUT,expressed in decibels. The method described in this Standard is the PMF/PZFequivalent of ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-107 with the return loss reported as a positivenumber.Alternately, this measurement is sometimes called “reflectance” for which thevalues are simply the negative of r
29、eturn loss. Thus, “reflectance” is the ratio indecibels of the power reflected by the DUT, to the power incident on, or enteringthe DUT. The preferred terminology is “return loss” as will be used throughoutthe rest of this Standard.1.2 DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Standard, the following defi
30、nitions apply.Birefringence. The property of a material in which orthogonal light polarizationshave different indices of refraction, which cause the light at those polarizationsto travel at different speeds (also referred to as the fast and slow axes). Linearlybirefringent fiber maintains linear pol
31、arization states along the length of the fiber.Unstable birefringence in standard single-mode fiber causes the states ofpolarization to behave in an unpredictable way. Polarization-maintaining fibersare a special class of single-mode fibers with a highly birefringent waveguidestructure that maintain
32、 the polarization states across the length of the fiber.TIA/EIA-455-2012Polarization-Maintaining Fiber (PMF). A class of highly linearly birefringentsingle-mode fiber, unlike the common variety of low birefringence, single-modefiber used in telecommunication networks. PMF is used to guide linearlypo
33、larized light from point to point, that is, to ensure that polarization does notchange with distance. As shown in Figure 1, the birefringence of commercialPMF is stress-induced by placing the core between or within glass elements ofdifferent physical composition, or by forming a non-round core.Polar
34、izing Fiber (PZF). A highly birefringent optical fiber in which only onepolarization state is propagated with low attenuation.Principal Optical Axes. Those optical axes for which the speed of light in alinearly birefringent material is a maximum or a minimum.Slow Axis. The optical axis of a PMF or P
35、ZF which is aligned to the stress rods(as in PANDA or Bow-tie fiber), the stress region (as in Oval stress region fiber),or the major axis of an elliptical core fiber. For PMF to be actually polarizationmaintaining, linearly polarized light must be aligned with one of the axes,commonly the slow axis
36、. By convention, the anti-rotation key of the connectorshould be aligned with the slow axis as defined in FOCIS-4A and to be followedfor other connector types, as shown in Figure 1.Fast Axis. The optical axis of a PMF or PZF which is orthogonal to the slowaxis. See Figure 1.PandaBow TieOvalCoreOval

42、s_The following apparatus and equipment are required to perform this test.TIA/EIA-455-20143.1 Optical light sourceThe optical power source shall be a diode laser, either modulated orunmodulated, whose center wavelength and spectral width shall be within theparameters provided in Table 1, unless othe
43、rwise specified in the DetailSpecification. In addition, the source shall not emit more than 0.1% (-30dB) ofits optical power at wavelengths shorter than the cutoff wavelength (per FOTP-80) of any of the fibers (SMF/PMF/PZF) incorporated in the measurementapparatus.Table 1. Wavelength Requirements O
44、f Optical Power SourceNominal Wavelength Center Wavelength RMS Spectral Width1310nm 1310nm +/- 30nm 5nm1550nm 1550nm +/- 30nm 5nmThe optical power of the light source must either be stable over the duration ofthe test or normalized by means of a reference. Without a reference, theuncontrolled variat
45、ion in source power must be less than 1% (0.05 dB) duringthe measurement.The source power must be capable of meeting the dynamic range requirementsof the measurement when combined with the detector sensitivity. In addition,the power launched into the component must not be at such a high level as toi
46、nduce non-linear scattering at levels higher than 10 dB below the level of testsensitivity desired. Use of an isolator is optional, but is recommended for lasersources to ensure stable operation.The optical power source should not be a single-spectral-line laser. Single-spectral-line lasers may have
47、 a coherence length long enough to turn the testset-up into an interferometer. Additionally, if the Device Under Test (DUT) issufficiently reflective, a narrow line width source may be destabilized.3.2 Single-mode optical directional couplerThe coupler shall be fabricated from non-PMF/PZF single-mod
48、e fiber whosecore diameter, numerical aperture and cut-off wavelength most closely matchesthe PMF/PZF of the DUT. The coupler shall also be polarization insensitive toprevent any dependence on the angular position at which the DUT is connected.The directional coupler (or splitter) may be of any convenient coupling ratio if theselecting coupling ration remains stable throughout the measurementprocedure.
