19、d mechanical requirements necessary in order to comply with the optical functionality specifications for a defined interface between two optical fibres. It consists of those essential features that are functionally critical to the optical attenuation and return loss performance of an optical interfa

20、ce in the mated condition. This standard provides general information on singlemode optical interfaces, defining the location of the fibre core in relation to the datum target and the following key parameters: lateral offset, end face separation, end face angle, end face high index layer condition.

21、It also defines standardised test methods where appropriate. The subsequent parts of this series contain those optical interfaces that have been standardised for international use. Each interface contains the essential information to ensure that products conforming to the standard will work together

22、 repeatedly to a known level of optical performance without the need for compatibility testing or cross checking. It is important to emphasise that standard optical interfaces are intended to be used with IEC standards of various categories, which already include: interface standards; test and measu

23、rement methods; performance standards; reliability standards; quality assurance standards. Interface standards provide all the essential information about a given product type or family necessary to ensure that all products compliant with the interface standard will mate/de-mate. Test and measuremen

24、t methods give a prescribed approach to the way in which key parameters that need to be assessed are evaluated. Performance standards use these methods to define a set of conditions indicative to a known system location against which a product can be evaluated on a once off basis to prove that its d

25、esign and manufacture are capable of satisfying the necessary criteria. Reliability standards are intended to provide the user and manufacturer with a set of tools for assessing the ability of the product to continue to meet the required criteria over a given or known period of time. Alternatively t

26、hey may give a means by which the life expectancy of the product can be estimated. Quality assurance standards describe the mechanisms/methods which can be used to ensure that a product is manufactured to a consistent level of quality, i.e. they allow the manufacturer to demonstrate that a product w

27、hich has been shown to meet a prescribed performance standard can continue to be manufactured such that the 10th, 100th, 1 000th etc. product will be the same as the first. 5 EN 61755-1:2006 The two basic performance parameters that characterise the optical interface are attenuation and return loss.

28、 Each parameter places different physical constraints on the optical interface. Environmental conditions also affect the performance of the optical interface and it may require definition of physical and mechanical requirements to ensure that the performance specified is maintained over the environm

29、ental extremes defined in a particular performance standard. Manufacturing materials and processes also affect the optical interface and therefore the standard has been designed to allow manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with the standard while still permitting the maximum of manufacturing dif

30、ferentiation. The relationship between, and suitability of, materials specified in Part 3 documents for different performance categories as specified in IEC 61753-1 will be defined, e.g. zirconia ferrule material can be applied in all environmental categories, while the polymer material specified fo

31、r some rectangular ferrules may only be applicable for category C. Optical interface standards define sets of prescribed conditions, which must be maintained in order to satisfy the requirements for the attenuation and return loss performance in a randomly mated pair of fibres of the same type. 0.2
