19、s (OAs), including optical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), and planar waveguide optical amplifiers (PWOAs). Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) causes an optical pulse to spread in the time domain. This dispersion could impair the performance of a
20、 telecommunications system. The effect can be related to differential group velocity and corresponding arrival times of different polarization components of the signal. For a narrowband source, the effect can be related to a differential group delay (DGD) between pairs of orthogonally polarized prin
21、cipal states of polarization (PSP). Other information about PMD may be found in IEC 61282-9 in general and in IEC 61292-5 on OAs in particular. This test method describes a procedure for measuring the PMD of OAs. The measurement result is obtained from the measurement of the normalized Stokes parame
22、ters at two closely spaced wavelengths. The test method described herein requires a polarized signal at the input of the polarimeter with a degree of polarization (DOP) of at least 25 %. Although the test source is highly polarized, the DOP at the output of the OA is reduced by amplified spontaneous
23、 emission (ASE). Annex A analyses the impact of ASE on the DOP. In order to assure an accurate measurement, the DOP is measured as part of the measurement procedure. The method described herein has been shown to be immune to polarization-dependent gain (PDG) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) up
24、to approximately 1 dB. Although the Jones matrix eigenanalysis (JME) test method is in principle also applicable to unpumped (that is, unpowered) OAs, the JME technique in this standard applies to pumped (that is, powered) OAs only. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indis

30、ss the intended measurement wavelength range. The spectral distribution shall be narrow enough so that light on the DUT remains polarized under all conditions of the measurement. 4.3 Polarization adjuster If the source is polarized, a polarization adjuster follows the laser and is set to provide rou
31、ghly circularly polarized light to the polarizers, so that the polarizers never cross polar-ization with the input light. If the source is unpolarized, this is not necessary. For the polarized source, adjust the polarization as follows. a) Set the tuneable laser wavelength to the centre of the range
32、 to be measured. b) Insert each of the three polarizers into the beam and perform three corresponding power measurements at the output of the polarizer. c) Adjust the source polarization via the polarization adjuster in such a way that the three powers fall within approximately a 3-dB range of one a
33、nother. In an open-beam version of the set-up, waveplates may perform the polarization adjustment. 4.4 Polarizers Three linear polarizers at relative angles of approximately 45 are arranged to be inserted into the light beam in turn. The actual relative angles shall be known. 4.5 Input optics An opt
34、ical lens system or single-mode fibre pigtail may be employed to excite the DUT. 4.6 Fibre pigtail If pigtails are used, interference effects due to reflections should be avoided. This may require index matching materials or angled cleaves. The pigtails shall be single-mode. 4.7 Optical lens system
35、If an optical lens system is used, some suitable means, such as a vacuum chuck, shall be used to support in a stable manner the input end of the fibre. 4.8 Output optics Couple all power emitted from the test fibre to the polarimeter. An optical lens system, a butt-splice to a single-mode fibre pigt
36、ail or an index-matched coupling made direct to the detector are examples of means that may be used. 4.9 Polarimeter Use a polarimeter to measure the three output states of polarization corresponding to insertion of each of the three polarizers. The wavelength range of the polarimeter shall include
37、the wavelengths produced by the light source. BS EN 61290-11-1:2008 6 5 Procedure a) Couple the light source through the polarization adjuster to the polarizers. b) Couple the output of the polarizers to the input of the DUT. c) Couple the output of the DUT to the input of the polarimeter. d) Select
38、 the wavelength interval over which the normalized Stokes parameters are to be measured. The maximum allowable value of (around the nominal wavelength 0) is set by the requirement c220max (1) where maxis the maximum expected DGD within 0 /2. For example, the product of the maximum DGD and the wavele
39、ngth interval shall remain less than 4 psnm at 1 550 nm and less than 2,8 psnm at 1 300 nm. This requirement ensures that from one test wavelength to the next, the output state of polarization rotates less than 180 about the principal states axis on the Poincar sphere. If a rough estimate of maxcann
40、ot be made, perform a series of sample measurements across the wavelength range, each measurement using a closely spaced pair of wavelengths appropriate to the spectral width and minimum tuning step of the optical source. Multiply the maximum DGD measured in this way by a safety factor of 3, substit
41、ute this value for maxin the above expression and compute the value of to be used in the actual measurement. If there is concern that the wavelength interval used for a measurement was too large, the measurement may be repeated with a smaller wavelength interval. If the shape of the curve of DGD ver
42、sus wavelength and the mean DGD is essentially unchanged, the original wavelength interval was satisfactory. e) Gather the measurement data. At the selected wavelengths, insert each of the polarizers and record the corresponding normalized Stokes parameters from the polarimeter. f) Calculate the DOP
43、 from the measured normalized Stokes parameters to determine if the measurement is valid. 232221sssDOP += (2) If the DOP is greater than 25 %, the measurement is valid. If the DOP is less than 25 %, increase the tuneable laser power and repeat step e). 6 Calculations 6.1 Jones matrix eigenanalysis c
44、alculations From the normalized Stokes parameters, compute the response Jones matrix at each wavelength. For each wavelength interval, compute the product of the Jones matrix (+) at the higher optical frequency and the inverse Jones matrix 1() at the lower optical frequency. The radian optical frequ
45、ency is expressed in radians per second and is related to the optical frequency by = 2. Find the DGD for the particular wavelength interval from the following expression: =21Arg(3) BS EN 61290-11-1:2008 7 where 1and 2 are the complex eigenvalues of (+) 1() and Arg denotes the argument function, that
46、 is Arg(ei) = . For the purposes of data analysis, each DGD value is taken to represent the differential group delay at the midpoint of the corresponding wavelength interval. 6.2 Display of DGD versus wavelength Data arising from Jones matrix eigenanalysis calculations may be plotted in an x-y forma

If multiple measurements are performed under different conditions to increase the sample size, the ensemble average is
