25、ndation covers a graded index, multimode fibre, which may be used in the region of 850 nm or in the region of 1300 nm or alternatively may be used in both wavelength regions simultaneously. This fibre can be used for analogue and for digital transmission. Its geometrical, optical, transmission and m

26、echanical characteristics are described below. 2 Definitions 2.1 alternative test method: A test method in which a given characteristic of a specified class of optical fibres or optical fibre cables is measured in a manner consistent with the definition of this characteristic and gives results which

27、 are reproducible and relatable to the reference test method and to practical use. 2.2 attenuation coefficient: In an optical fibre it is the attenuation per unit length. NOTE - The attenuation is the rate of decrease of average optical power with respect to distance along. the fibre and is defined

28、by the equation: i -a- P(z) = P(0)lO lo where: P(z) is the power at distance z along the fibre; P(0) is the power at z = O; a is the attenuation coefficient in dBh if z is in km. From this equation the attenuation coefficient is: This assumes that a is independent of z. 2.3 bandwidth (of an optical

29、fibre): That value numericaly equal to the lowest frequency at which the magnitude of the baseband .transfer function of an optical fibre decreases to a specified fraction, generally to -3 dB optical (-6 dB electrical), of the zero frequency value. NOTE - The bandwidth is limited by several mechanis

30、ms: mainly modal distortion and chromatic dispersion in multimode fibres. 2.4 chromatic dispersion: The spreading of a light pulse per unit source spectrum width in an optical fibre caused by the different group velocities of the different wavelengths composing the source spectrum. Recommendation G.

31、651 (02/98) 1 STD-ITU-T RECPlN G.651-ENGL L998 m 4862593 06492b0 IT1 m NOTE - The chromatic dispersion may be due to one or more of the following: material dispersion, waveguide dispersion, profile dispersion. Polarization dispersion does not give appreciable effects in circularly-symmetric fibres.

32、2.5 chromatic dispersion coefficient: The chromatic dispersion per unit source spectrum width and unit length of fibre. It is usually expressed in ps/(nm . km). 2.6 cladding: The outermost region of constant refractive index in the fibre cross-section. 2.7 cladding mode stripper: A device or materia

33、l that encourages the conversion of cladding modes to radiation modes. 2.8 core: The central region of an optical fibre through which most of the optical power is transmitted. 2.9 core area: The core diameter of a multimode optical fibre is defined from the refractive index profile as that diameter

34、passing through the core centre and intersecting the index profile at the points n3 such that: n3 = n2 + k(n, - It2) where: n2 is the refractive index of the homogeneous cladding; n, is the maximum refractive index; and k is a constant commonly called the “k factor”. The refractive index profile can

35、 be measured by profiling techniques such as the Refracted Near- Field measurement (RNF) or Transverse Interferometry (TI), and by measurement of the near field-of a fully-illuminated core such as the Transmitted Near-Field measurement (TNF). It is recommended that curve fitting be used with both th

36、e index profiling and the TNF techniques to improve the measurement precision of the core diameter. NOTE 1 - Typically, k = 0.025 for either the fitted profiling methods or the unfitted TNF method is equivalent to k = O for the fitted TNF method. NOTE 2 - For fibres with refractive index profiles th

37、at have gradual transition region at their core/cladding boundary, a value of k = 0.05 for the unfitted TNF method is equivalent to k = O for the fitted TNF method. 2.10 core (cladding) centre: For a cross-section of an optical fibre, it is the centre of that circle which best fits the outer limit o

38、f the core area (cladding). NOTE 1 - These centres may not be the same. NOTE 2 - The method of best fitting has to be specified. 2.11 core (cladding) diameter: The diameter of the circle defining the core (cladding) centre. 2.12 core (cladding) diameter deviation: The difference between the actual a

39、nd the nominal values of the core (cladding) diameter. 2.13 corekladding concentricity error: The distance between the core centre and the cladding centre divided by the core diameter. 2.14 cqre (cladding) tolerance field: For a cross-section of an optical fibre, it is the region between the circle

40、circumscribing the core (cladding) area and the largest circle, concentric with the first one, that fits into the core (cladding) area. Both circles shall have the same centre as the core (cladding). 2.15 maximum theoretical numerical aperture: A theoretical value of numerical aperture calculated us

41、ing the values of refractive index of the core and cladding given by: 2 Recommendation G.651 (02/98) where: y11 is the maximum refractive index of the core; y12 is the refractive index of the innermost homogeneous cladding. NOTE - The relationship between NA (2.19) and NA, is given in 6.2.2. 2.16 mo

42、de filter: A device designed to accept or reject a certain mode or modes. 2.17 mode scrambler; mode mixer: A device for inducing transfer of power between modes in an optical fibre, effectively scrambling the modes. NOTE - Frequently used to provide a mode distribution that is independent of source

43、characteristics. 2.18 core (cladding) non-circularity: The difference between the diameters of the two circles defined by the core (cladding) tolerance field divided by the core (cladding) diameter. 2.19 numerical aperture: The numerical aperture NA is the sine of the vertex half-angle of the larges

44、t cone of rays that can enter or leave the core of an optical fibre, multiplied by the refractive index of the medium in which the vertex of the cone is located. 2.20 reference surface: The cylindrical surface of an optical fibre to which reference is made for jointing purposes.
