35、standard gives two methods for measuring fibre geometry characteristics: Method A: Refracted near-field, described in Annex A; Method B: Transmitted near-field, described in Annex B. Methods A and B apply to the geometry measurement of all class A multimode fibres, class B single-mode fibres and cla

36、ss C single-mode interconnection fibres. The fibres applicable product specifications, IEC 60793-2-10, IEC 60793-2-20, IEC 60793-2-30, IEC 60793-2-40, IEC 60793-2-50 and IEC 60793-2-60, provide relevant measurement details, including sample lengths and k factors. The geometric parameters measurable

37、by the methods described in this standard are as follows: cladding diameter; cladding non-circularity; core diameter (class A fibre only); core non-circularity (class A fibre only); core-cladding concentricity error. NOTE 1 The core diameter of class B and class C fibres is not specified. The equiva

38、lent parameter is mode field diameter, determined by IEC 60793-1-45. NOTE 2 These methods specify both one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) data collection techniques and data analyses. The 1-D methods by themselves cannot detemine non-circularity nor concentricity error. When non-circula

39、r bodies are measured with 1-D methods, body diameters suffer additional uncertainties. These limitations may be overcome by scanning and analysing multiple 1-D data sets. Clause 5 provides further information. Information common to both methods appears in Clauses 2 through 10, and information perta

40、ining to each individual method appears in Annexes A and B, respectively. Annex C describes normative methods used to find the optical boundaries of the core and the cladding, Annex D describes normative procedures to fit ellipses to sets of detected boundaries. Annex E provides an informative fitti

41、ng procedure of power-law models to graded-index core profiles. Annex F describes an informative methodology relating to the transformation of core diameter measurements determined with methods other than the reference method to approximate reference method values.
