25、300 describes the procedure to determine the angular misalignment between the fibre and the ferrule axes in a cylindrical ferrule for singlemode fibre optical connectors with fibre installed. General description This procedure describes the measurement of the angular misalignment between the fibre a

26、nd the ferrule axes in a cylindrical ferrule for fibre optic connectors with fibre installed. Angular misalignment is defined as the angle between the axis of the ferrule and the axis of the installed fibre (see Figure 1). This procedure measures angular misalignment by measuring the deviation in th

27、e far field pattern coming from the core as the ferrule is rotated around its axis. Ferrule axis Fibre axis Ferrule Fibre IEC 2142/02 Figure 1 Definition of the fibre misalignment angle In a optical connector typical values of angular misalignment are in the range of tenths of a degree. At 5 mm from

28、 the ferrule surface, the diameter of the light spot (white light) is about 1 mm. On rotating the connector the displacement of the spot is of the order of 1/100 of the spot diameter (45 m for an angular misalignment of 0,5 at 5 mm from the fibre surface). To detect such a displacement a high precis

29、ion, automatically controlled set-up is necessary. The deviation of the spot coming from the fibre is also affected by the tilt of the fibre surface with respect to the ferrule axis. This deflection is described by Snells law. It is possible to calculate the contribution due to the tilt of the fibre

30、 surface from the curvature radius and the apex offset eccentricity. Some notes and explanation about the equations used in this document to correct this effect are given in Annex A.

32、in Figure 2, consists of the following elements: 3.1 Ferrule holder The ferrule is placed and rotated in a precise V-groove holder or in a centring mechanism. According to ISO 2538 the preferred angle for the V-groove is 108. 3.2 Light source A white light source is used. 3.3 Screen The spot from th

33、e fibre is projected on a screen. The screen could be the CCD chip of a video camera. The screen shall be perpendicular to the axis of the V-groove or centring mechanism. 3.4 Data processing equipment A computer, with suitable software, processes the images from the video camera and analyses the acq

The direction of the fibre core with respect to the dome offset shall be marked on the ferrule (see Figure 3). The ferrule is placed in the holder with the marker of the dome offset fibre core direction

36、 in a known position. In this way it will be possible to evaluate the light spot position, given by the angle , with respect to this marker.

37、ome vertex fibre core direction The ferrule is rotated in steps of 90 or less, until a complete rotation is made. At each position the outline of the light spot is acquired and the centre position is estimated by means of a fitting procedure. When the centre coordinates of each ferrule position are

38、acquired, the circle that best fits these points shall be found. The angle of the light spot deviation is given by L r arctan where r is the radius of the circle fitting the spot centre positions, and L is the distance of the screen from the ferrule surface (see Figure 4).
