If FOTP-54 is used for information transmission capacity measurements, use a light source as described in FOTP-30 or FOTP-51. 3.2 Mode scrambler 3.2.1 Definition A “mode scrambler” is a device which is positioned between the light source and test fiber to control launching conditions
31、. A particular mode scrambler design is not specified; however, examples of successful mode scramblers consisting of an optical 2 Copyright Electronic Industries Alliance Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TIA/EIA-
32、45 5-54B fiber or fibers with associated optics are given in Figure 1. It should be emphasized that the performance of these scramblers depends upon the launch optics and fiber sizes (core and NA) used in the actual construction. 3.2.2 Mode scrambler examples Two designs are given for illustration p
33、urposes only. Other designs may perform as well. 3.2.2.1 Step-Graded-Step The mode scrambler in Figure l(a) is a series combination of 1 m lengths of step, graded, and step index fibers spliced together. See references B1 and B2 of Annex B for information concerning fabrication of mode scramblers ac
34、cording to the step- graded-step design. 3.2.2.2 Step with bends The mode scrambler in Figure l(b utilizes a single length of step index fiber. See references B3 and 84 of Annex B for further information concerning the fabrication of step-index fiber mode scramblers. In some instances macroscopic, s
35、erpentine bends or wrapping several turns of the step-index fiber around a mandrel will make the mode scrambler less sensitive to the laser diode alignment. 3.3 Test apparatus to qualify mode scrambler To qualify the mode scrambler, it is necessary to measure near- and far-field radiation patterns o
36、f the output of the mode scrambler when coupled to the light source of 3.1. Appropriate test apparatus is described in FOTP-43 and FOTP-47. If the qualification tests are performed on an image of the mode scrambler output, the appropriate test apparatus may differ from that described in FOTP-43 and
37、FOTP-47. 3.4 Micro position in g d evice/o p tics Apparatus to couple light from the mode scrambler to the test fiber is needed. This may be a micropositioner along with optics to image the mode scrambler output to the input end of the test fiber. Alternatively, a temporary splice to butt-couple the
38、 mode scrambler output to the input end of the test fiber may be employed. 3 Copyright Electronic Industries Alliance Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TIA/EIA-45 5-54B 3.5 Cladding mode strippers If the mode scra
39、mbler is used in applications where fiber attenuation is measured, apply a cladding mode stripper to the test fiber unless the fiber buffer coating is sufficient to strip cladding light. 4 Sampling and specimens The test sample includes the optical source and mode scrambler device. Also included are
40、 positioning devices, associated optics such as connectors and optical imaging systems, and fiber to be used in the measurement system. _ 5 Procedure 5.1 Qualification of mode scrambler The mode scrambler, regardless of design, shall be sufficient to reliably reproduce the launching conditions of 5.
41、1.1 and 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 to the test fiber. If the launching conditions to the test fiber remain stable enough to meet the required launching conditions for all subsequent measurements, the qualification tests need not be made in situ and shall not be required for every test using the mode scrambier.
42、 Such stability may be obtained, for example, by permanently pigtaiiing or permanently connectorizing the source to the mode scrambler. For many mode scrambler designs, however, the launching conditions produced depend on the source/mode scrambier alignment and interaction with any intermediary opti
43、cs such as connectors or optical imaging systems. If the source or any component in the optical system is changed, the qualification tests shall be repeated. 5.1.1 Launch spot on test fiber With the light source coupled to the mode scrambler fiber, the near-field radiation pattern which excites the
44、test fiber core shall vary by less than 25% across the test 4 Copyright Electronic Industries Alliance Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-STD-EIA TIA-Y55-5qB-ENGL 1778 I3234b00 ObL3722 555 W TIA/ElA-455-546 fiber c
45、ore area. If the core diameter of the test fiber is not known, it shall be determined by FOTP-58. If the mode scrambler is connected directly to the test fiber, the near-field radiation pattern which excites the test fiber core shall be measured in accordance with FOTP-43. If the mode scrambler outp
46、ut is optically imaged onto the test fiber input, the launched near-field distribution shall be determined and referenced to a near-field defined by FOTP-43. 5.1.2 Launch radiation angle to test fiber With the light source coupled to the mode scrambler fiber, the angular intensity distribution which
47、 excites the test fiber shall be measured. The launch numerical aperture, defined as the sine of the half-angle at which the launched angular intensity has decreased to 5 percent of the maximum value, shall exceed the 5 percent numerical aperture of the test fiber. If the 5 percent numerical apertur
48、e of the test fiber is not known, it shall be determined by one of the procedures of FOTP-177. If the mode scrambler is connected directly to the test fiber, the angular intensity distribution from the mode scrambler fiber which excites the test fiber core shall be measured in accordance with FOTP-4
49、7. If the mode scrambler output is optically imaged onto the test fiber input, the launched angular intensity distribution shall be determined and referenced to a far-field defined by FOTP-47. 5.1.3 Additional requirements on launch using restricted measurements In order to achieve a truly uniform launch distribution, one of the following tests shall be performed and its requirements met. This is in addition to the
