21、 61290 applies to all commercially available optical amplifiers (OAs) including optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) using semiconductor gain media. Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) causes an optical pulse to spread in the time domain. Thi
22、s dispersion could impair the performance of a telecommunications system. The effect can be related to differential group velocity and corresponding arrival times of different polarization components of the signal. For a narrowband source, the effect can be related to a differential group delay (DGD
23、) between pairs of orthogonally polarized principal states of polarization (PSP). This test method describes a procedure for measuring the PMD of OAs. The measurement result is obtained from the measurement of the normalised Stokes parameters at two closely spaced wavelengths. The mathematical basis
24、 together with an example of calculation for the Poincar sphere analysis (PSA) method to calculate PMD is provided in the technical report IEC 61292-5. The method described herein has been shown to be immune to polarization-dependent gain (PDG) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) up to approximate
25、ly 1 dB . Although the PSA, in practice, is applicable to unpumped (that is, unpowered) OAs, the PSA technique in this standard applies to pumped (that is, powered) OAs only.

Alt
30、hough the test source is highly polarized, the degree of polarization (DOP) at the output of the OA can be significantly reduced by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The source DOP should be at least 25 % within the optical bandwidth of the state of polarization (SOP) measurement. This is of
31、 particular concern when using a tuneable narrowband source without a tracking optical band-pass filter at the amplifier output, because the total ASE power out of the amplifier, i.e. the ASE spectrum integrated over all wavelengths, impinges on the photodetectors whatever the selected wavelength. I
32、n this case, proper saturation conditions must be ensured in order for the DOP to be high enough for accurate measurement (see IEC 61292-5). The source DOP requirement is less of a concern when using a broadband source and spectral analysis (which acts as a narrowband filter centred about the select
33、ed wavelength), or a tuneable narrowband source with a tracking narrowband band-pass filter at the output of the amplifier. In this case the ASE power, within the resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the spectral analysis, or output-filter bandwidth, remains low with respect to signal power for a broader r
34、ange of saturation conditions. 7 EN 61290-11-2:2005 See Figure 1 for a schematic diagram of the key components in a typical measurement system. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of equipment (typical) 4.2 Light source In all cases a polarized wavelength-range light source shall be used. The wavelength rang
35、e shall at least cover the OA gain spectrum. Two kinds of light source may be used depending on the type of analyser used. For instance, a narrowband source can be used with a polarimetric broadband analyser while a broadband source can be used with a narrow band-pass wavelength filtering analyser.
36、4.2.1 Narrowband source The narrowband source shall be tuneable across the intended measurement wavelength range. The spectral distribution of the source shall be narrow enough so that light emerging from the DUT remains polarized under all conditions of the measurement. However, in all cases, the s
37、ource linewidth and the wavelength step shall be carefully selected in order to respect the Nyquist sampling theorem. In cases where reflections causing multiple path interference cannot be avoided, the source linewidth must not be too narrow in order to avoid coherence interference effects. Passive
38、 and active coherence control techniques are available. See IEC 61292-5 for more details on multiple path interferences and coherence interference effects.

43、4.3.1 Polarization adjuster and linear polarizers If the source is polarized, the polarization adjuster follows the light source and is set to provide roughly circularly polarized light to the polarizers, so that the polarizers never cross polarization with the input light. If the source is unpolari
44、zed, this is not necessary. For the polarized source, adjust the polarization as follows. Make sure that the light source wavelength range is set to the centre of the range to be measured. Insert each of the three polarizers into the beam and perform three corresponding power measurements at the out
45、put of the polarizer. Adjust the source polarization via the polarization adjuster such that the three powers fall within approximately a 3-dB range of one another. In an open beam version of the set-up, a waveplate may perform the polarization adjustment. In addition to the polarization adjuster, t
46、hree linear polarizers are arranged for insertion into the light beam in turn. Their actual relative angles do not need to be known but need to be distinct from each other. However they should provide sufficient sampling of the three such oriented components for accurate determination of these compo
47、nents. 4.3.2 Input optics An optical lens system or single-mode fibre pigtail may be employed to excite the DUT. If pigtails are used, interference effects due to reflections should be avoided. This may require index matching materials. The pigtails shall be single-mode. If an optical lens system is
48、 used, some suitable means, such as a vacuum chuck, shall be used to provide a highly stable support to the input end of the DUT. 4.4 Analyser Two kinds of analysers may be used depending on the type of source used. For instance, a polarimetric broadband analyser can be used with a narrowband source
49、 while a narrow band- pass wavelength filtering analyser can be used with a broadband source. The narrow band- pass wavelength filtering analyser may be: an optical filter, an optical spectrum analyser (OSA), or an interferometer used as a Fourier transform spectrum analyser (FTSA). The equivalent optical filtering shall be narrow enough so that light emerging from the DU
