INTRODUCTION This document details three methods for calculating a digital optical loss budget. These include the Worst Ca
23、se Method, the Statistical Method, and the Numerical (Simulation) Method. These methods require increasing effort but provide increasing accuracy. Note that AS5750 allows for using a more accurate method over the method selected. The method to perform a digital optical loss budget is broken down int
24、o three general stages: specification, procedure, and documentation. In the specification stage, the high level goal of the digital optical loss budget is captured. In the procedure stage, the steps to accomplish the digital optical loss budget are provided. In the documentation stage, the informati
25、on generated by the digital optical loss budget is described. 4. SPECIFICATION AND INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS The following details shall be specified when using this standard: a. Base loss budget calculation method to be used (I Worst Case, II Statistical, or III Numerical (Simulation). If no method
26、has been selected, I Worst Case is selected by default. b. The specific defined parameter value for required margin, MREQ.c. The specific defined parameter value for confidence level, C.If required, the following details shall be specified before using this standard: d. The specific defined paramete
27、r value for required saturation margin, MREQ(SAT).Note that AS5750 provides the information necessary for this step. 5. PROCEDURE 5.1 Describe the Digital Optical Link The first step is to generate a complete description of the digital optical link. This description starts with the optical sourceof
28、the digital optical link where the digital information is first converted to light, for example, a directly modulated laser. The description ends with the optical destination where the light is converted back to digital information, for example, a photodiode. For complex optical systems where the li
29、ght from one optical source may reach more than a single optical destination, each significantly different optical path between a single optical source and multiple optical destinations should be treated as different digital optical links and should have separate digital optical loss budgets calcula
30、ted for each resulting digital optical link.

31、erated. 5.1.1.1 Describe Optical Source The optical source of the digital optical link shall be included in the description list of the digital optical link. The opticalsource shall be identified uniquely. An example of unique identification is “Unit A, laser 3.” The type of optical source and manuf
32、acturer should be noted. 5.1.1.2 Describe Optical Elements The optical elements of the digital optical link shall be included in the description list of the digital optical link. Typicallythese optical elements are part of an optical cable plant. Optical elements are components or interfaces that ma
33、y significantly affect the propagation of light along with the optical source and optical destination. Table 1 is a list of itemsthat shall be included if present in the digital optical link. For example, include a connector if the digital optical link has a connector between the optical source and
34、the optical destination but do not include a wavelength demultiplexer if the digital optical link does not have a wavelength demultiplexer. Note that some of these elements may have negligible effects on the digital optical link. If there are duplicate optical elements in the digital optical link, e
35、ach duplicate opticalelement shall be listed separately in the description list. Note that some optical systems have optical elements not listed in Table 1. These optical elements unlisted in Table 1 shall be included in the description list. Each optical element included in the description list sha
36、ll be identified uniquely. An example of unique identification is “Unit B, filter 2, port 1 to port 3.”The type of optical element and manufacturer should be noted. 5.1.1.3 Describe Optical Destination The optical destination of the digital optical link shall be included in the description list of t
37、he digital optical link. The opticaldestination shall be identified uniquely. An example of unique identification is “Unit B, PIN diode 4.” The type of optical destination and manufacturer should be noted.

42、AENot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-SAE AS5603A Page 5 of 155.1.2 Environmental Conditions The expected environmental conditions for the digital optical link shall be documented. The environmental conditions for different parts of the link should be d
43、ocumented separately if the environmental conditions for different parts of the link aresignificantly different. Environmental conditions shall include temperature range and vibration spectrum. There are many other environmental conditions that should be included. See AIR6113, MIL-STD-810, or RTCA D
44、O-160 for a more complete list and descriptions of potential environmental conditions. As a guideline, environmental conditions would be documented if they significantly impact any item in the description list. Note that a seemingly insignificant impact in a single item in the description list may b
45、ecome significant when grouped with other items that are impacted in the same fashion. 5.1.3 Additional Characteristics If there are any additional characteristics to be separately accounted for in the digital optical link, they shall be documented. These characteristics may be additional penalties
46、or adjustments that capture the interaction between the components in the optical link. The effects of these additional characteristics are typically accounted for in the optical lossdata and do not need to be extracted and included separately. See AIR6113 for a list and descriptions of potential ad
47、ditional characteristics. 5.1.4 Review Description Once the description list, environmental conditions, and additional characteristics are documented, they shall be provided to the entity requesting the loss budget. Ideally, this information should be reviewed with the entity before continuing. This
48、 step ensures completeness and agreement on the description list and the included environmental conditions before investing further effort. 5.2 Prepare Optical Data Optical data is needed for every item in the description list. This information may come from a variety of sources. These sources are listed in Table 2.
