25、N 60793- 1-21 2002 OPTICAL FIBRES - Part 1-21: Measurement methods and test procedures - Coating geometry 1 Scope This part of IEC 60793 establishes uniform requirements for measuring the coating geometry of optical fibre. Coating geometry measurements are fundamental values that need to be known fo

29、I Coating diameter and non-circularity I All I IEC 60793-I-A4 I a For certain coating parameters evaluation, the cladding diameter should be measured using this procedure. However, due to the relatively poor accuracy of the method, this value of cladding diameter cannot be considered as an alternati

Both methods are conducted off-line during inspection. Neither of them is suitable

31、for on-line, in-process measurements. Information common to both measurements appears in clauses 2 to IO. See also annexes A and B, for methods A and B, respectively. O BSI 17 May 2002 Page 6 EN 60793-1-212002 4 Definitions For the purpose of this part of IEC 60793, the following definitions apply.

32、4.1 primary coating one or more layers of protective coating material applied to the fibre cladding surface during or after the drawing to preserve the cladding surface and to give a minimum amount of required protection (e.g. a 250 pm protective coating) 4.2 secondary or “buffer“ coating one or mor

33、e layers of coating material applied over one or more layers of primary coated fibres in order to give additional required protection or to arrange fibres together in a particular structure (e.g. a 900 pm “buffer“ coating, “tight jacket“ or “ribbon coating“) 5 Reference test method Method A is the r

34、eference test method (RTM), which is the one used to settle disputes. 6 Apparatus Annexes A and B include layout drawings and other equipment requirements for each of the methods A and B, respectively. 7 Sampling and specimens 7.1 Specimen length The specimen shall be a short length of fibre, or as

35、specified in the detail specification. 7.2 Specimen end face Because the end faces of the specimen are not involved in the measurement itself, it is not necessary to have tight end-face requirements. 8 Procedure See annexes A and B for methods A and B, respectively. 9 Calculations See annexes A and

36、B for methods A and B, respectively. O BSI 17 May 2002 Page 7 EN 60793- 1-21 2002 10 Results The following information shall be provided with each measurement: - date and title of measurement; - identification and description of specimen; - measurement results as required by the detail specification

37、 The following information shall be available upon request: - length of specimen; - measurement method used: A or B; - description of measurement apparatus arrangement; - details of computation technique; - date and details of the latest calibration. 11 Specification information The detail specifica

38、tion shall specify the following information: - type of fibre to be measured; - failure or acceptance criteria; - information to be reported; - deviations to the procedure that apply.

Immerse the specimen in a suitable index- matching fluid, and retain it by means of a cell made with a transparent m

41、aterial. If necessary, fix this cell on a rotating table, in order to position the specimen parallel to the cursor. Hold the cell assembly as a whole, or the fibre within the cell, by the fibre clamp in such a way that it may be rotated through at least 180, and be capable of being fixed in a suffic

42、ient number of positions for the purpose of measuring coating dimensions. The mechanical tolerances should be such that minimal repositioning and refocusing is required when the fibre is moved from one rotational position to another. / Microscope 1 Rotating fibre clamp Index matching fluid /- . / -

44、ewing The image may be viewed directly using a filar eyepiece or projected onto a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and displayed on a monitor. A typical system magnification for the visual method is x100 to x200, and for the camera method is typically x20; in the latter case the image is formed di

45、rectly onto the CCD. Determine the dimensions of the fibre image by using the filar eyepiece with the visual method and by positioning an electronic cursor on the monitor, or by computer data analysis of a stored image with the camera method.

If necessary, a system of lenses may be used to collimate the beam onto the specimen. A.1.2.2 Fibre holding arrangem

However, since the accuracy of this test method is t

A.2.2 Analyzing the image Determine the dimensions of the coating(s) under different rotation angles by the analysis of the image of the fibre. Using the laser gauge, the dimensions may be measured by evaluating the deflection function of the laser beam across the fibre. A.2.3 Analyzing the data After data acquisition, two different approaches may be followed: plane analysis or ellipse- fitting analysis. Proceed with the analysis only whe
