35、cification General 3 Overview of method This standard gives five methods for measuring length, which are presented in the following table 1.

37、ods for fibres and fibre optic cables, such as those in IEC 60794-1-1. bThis measurement is applicable unreservedly to type B single-mode fibres. For type A1 multimode fibres, take particular care when interpreting the results because the results of this measurement may be influenced by interfering

38、modal effects, for example, due to the occurrence of non-longitudinal stresses on the fibre. Application of the measurement to A2 to A4 multimode fibres is under consideration. Page6 EN60793122:2002 2002enuJ5ISBBSI6June200260793-1-22 IEC:2001 7 Information common to all measurements is contained in

39、clauses 2 to 8. Information on specific application appears in annexes A, B, C, D, and E for methods A, B, C, D and E, respectively. 3.1 Method A Delay measuring The delay measuring method applies to measurements of the fibre length by the measurement of the propagation time of an optical pulse or a

40、 pulse train on the basis of a known value of the group index of the fibre. Alternatively, this method is suitable for measuring the group index of a fibre of known length. Therefore, in practice this fibre length measurement method is calibrated against a known length of fibre of the same type. 3.2

41、 Method B Backscattering The backscattering method, which is a single-sided measurement, uses an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), and measures the optical power backscattered from different points in the fibre to the beginning of the fibre. 3.3 Method C Fibre elongation This measurement met

42、hod describes a procedure for determining the fibre elongation. It does not measure absolute strain, but instead measures the changes in strain from one loading condition to another. 3.4 Method D Mechanical length This measurement method describes a procedure for determining the fibre length by wind

43、ing a fibre around a fixed diameter calibrated wheel that rotates. The length is determined by the number of revolutions of the wheel. 3.5 Method E Phase shift The phase shift method describes a procedure for determining the fibre length. The length is determined from the phase shift that occurs whe

44、n a predetermined modulation frequency f max is applied. 3.6 Reference test method The reference test method (RTM), which shall be the one used to settle disputes, varies depending on whether the fibre is cabled or not, such as uncabled fibre: method D; length of fibre within cable: method B; elonga

45、tion of fibre within cable: method C; elongation of uncabled fibre: method C. 4 Apparatus Annexes A, B, C, D and E include layout drawings and other equipment requirements for each of the methods A, B, C, D and E, respectively.
