1、Designation: E1653 94 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Guide forSpecifying Dynamic Characteristics of Optical RadiationTransmitting Fiber Waveguides1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1653; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the
2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the key parameters that determine thedynamic performance of an optical
3、 radiation transmitting fiberwaveguide (see Note 1). For the purpose of this guide, opticalradiation is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths fromabout 200 to about 5000 nm (correspondingly, frequencies of50 000 cm1to 2000 cm1, and photon energies of 6 eV to 0.25eV).NOTE 1Typical designations of
4、radiation transmitting fiber wave-guides include optical waveguide, fiber-optic, fiber-optic waveguide, andfiber-optic radiation guide.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to add
5、ress all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Many characteristics of a fiber-optic waveguide affectthe dynamic performance. Quantitative values of certain keyparameters
7、 (characteristics) need to be known, a priori,inorder to predict or evaluate the dynamic performance of awaveguide for specific conditions of use. This guide identifiesthese key parameters and provides information on their signifi-cance and how they affect performance. However, this guidedoes not de
8、scribe how the needed quantitative information is tobe obtained. Manufacturers of fiber-optic waveguides can usethis guide for characterizing their products suitably for userswho are concerned with dynamic performance. Users offiber-optic waveguides can use this guide to determine thattheir waveguid
9、es are adequately characterized for their in-tended application.5. Key Dynamic Characteristics5.1 Dynamic characteristics and dynamic performance, forthe purposes of this guide, have to do with the time- orfrequency-domain response of a fiber-optic waveguide topulsed or sinusoidally modulated optica
10、l radiation. Fig. 1 andFig. 2 show hypothetical outputs of an optical fiber to pulsedand sinusoidally modulated radiation inputs. (Either the time-or the frequency-domain can be used to characterize thetemporal features of a fiber-optic waveguide, because the twoare related through the Fourier trans
11、form.) It is this response, asit is affected by launch condition, input radiant flux,wavelength, bend radii, temperature, and spatial positionacross the face of a fiber-optic waveguide, that is the concernof this guide.5.2 Ideal Fiber-OpticFeatures that would be possessed byan ideal fiber-optic wave
12、guide provide a basis for discussingthe key parameters that determine the dynamic aspects of afiber-optic waveguide. An ideal fiber-optic radiation guidewould have the following features.5.2.1 Alarge numerical aperture, such that noncollimated orpoorly collimated radiation sources (for example, arc
13、lamps)could be coupled to it effectively.5.2.2 Wide transmissive (spectral) bandwidth, within therange from 200 to 5000 nm, so that experiments requiringultraviolet (UV), visible, and IR radiation may be performedwith the minimum change in radiation guides.5.2.3 Wide temporal bandwidth (gigahertz; p
14、icosecond tofemtosecond), so that time resolution would not becompromised, and that high data-transfer would be possible.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E13 on MolecularSpectroscopy and Separation Science and is the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee E13.09 on Fiber Optic

United States15.2.4 Known temporal response (althoug
17、h not necessarilyconstant) across the spectral bandwidth, so that a researchercould determine how using a fiber-optic waveguide mightcompromise particular experiments.5.3 Key ParametersA great many parameters must beknown, ultimately, to use fiber-optic radiation guides mosteffectively. The followin
18、g are seven of the key parameters thatdetermine the dynamic aspects of a fiber-optic radiation guide.FIG. 1 Output of an Optical Fiber to a Radiation Input PulseFIG. 2 Output of an Optical Fiber to a Sinusoidal Waveform Radiation InputE1653 94 (2013)25.3.1 The Diameter of the Fiber-OpticThis should
19、beincluded in all reports.5.3.2 The Length of the Fiber Optic from Which All ResultsAre CompiledIt is important that the guide be long enough toensure that the system attains equilibrium numerical aperture.NOTE 2It is recommended that a fiber-optic cable be at least 5 m longfor all measurements.5.3.
20、3 The peak-power handling capability of a fiber-opticradiation guide are critical for several reasons: possible de-struction of the fiber-optic by high-photon flux (namely,melting or ablation of the fibers core material and surroundingcladding); non-linear effects (for example, second harmonicgenera
21、tion, and overloading problems); and luminescencebackgrounds generated from low levels of impurities. It isespecially important to determine the temporal bandwidth as afunction of incident radiation flux at the input of the fiber-opticradiation guide.5.3.4 The Wavelength-Dependent Temporal Bandwidth
22、Itis important to determine a priori how a fiber-optic radiationguide will suffice for a particular experiment. For example, fora study of processes that occur on a picosecond time scale, theradiation guide must have sufficient bandwidth. If the inputpulse (see Fig. 1) or the sinusoidal waveform (se
23、e Fig. 2) arebroadened too much or demodulated significantly, then therequired time resolution will be lost and the study will fail.NOTE 3This parameter is closely related to the “spectral dispersion”commonly specified in the telecommunications field.5.3.5 The Effects of Launch Conditions on the Tem
24、poral andSpectral BandwidthsThese must be known because, formany possible reasons, the input to the fiber may not be atexactly the numerical aperture. It would be important to know,for example, what a 620 % change in the launching numericalaperture would have on the temporal and spectral bandwidths.
25、5.3.6 The Temperature- and the Bend-Stabilities of theFiber-Optic Radiation GuideIn many circumstances (forexample, field analyses), it is difficult to control temperatureand fiber orientation (for example, in a well hole, or coiled ona laser table), and it is therefore necessary to know what effect
26、these parameters have on the temporal and spectral band-widths.5.3.7 The Temporal and Spectral Characteristics of a Fiber-Optic Radiation Guide as a Function of Position Across theFace of the FiberThis is especially important for imagingtechniques or methods that require that the spatial profilerema
27、in homogeneous, or at least known.5.4 Reporting Key ParametersQuantitative values of thekey parameters should be provided in graphical form forconvenience of access.6. Report6.1 In addition to reporting values of the relevant keyparameters of an experiment, results should be reported withrespect to
28、the input radiation source. For example, temporaldistortion should be reported as the ratio for the full-width-at-half-maxima (FWHM) for the radiation pulse after and beforepassing through the fiber-optic guide (FWHMintrinsic/FWHMfiber). Also, specify the intrinsic FWHM of the radia-tion source, and
29、 the length and diameter of the fiber-opticradiation guide.7.
