29、T AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Part 3-3: Examinations and measurements Active monitoring of changes in attenuation and return loss 1 Scope This part of IEC 61300 describes the procedure to monitor changes in attenuation and/or return loss of a component or an interconnecting device, when subjected to
30、an environmental or mechanical test. Such a procedure is commonly referred to as active monitoring. In many instances, it is more efficient to monitor attenuation and return loss at the same time. The procedure may be applied to measurements on single samples or to simultaneous measurements on multi
31、ple samples, both at single wavelengths and multiple wavelengths, by using branching devices and/or switches as appropriate. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

35、ment methods. Method 1 describes the situation where a single sample is subject to mechanical or environmental stress testing. Methods 2 and 3 describe methods for monitoring changes in the optical performance of multiple samples. Methods 4 and 5 measure changes in the optical performance of samples
36、 using an OTDR. Methods 4 and 5 may be used only when the OTDR averaging time is much less than the variation time of the test conditions. Where there is any form of uncertainty over the measurement method used, method 1 shall be considered to be the reference method. 1To be published. BS EN 61300-3
37、-3:200961300-3-3 IEC:2009(E) 7 All methods are capable of being configured to monitor changes in attenuation and return loss at the same time. The required optical test parameters shall be defined in the relevant specification. Where a group of samples is being monitored over a period of time, say s
38、everal days or weeks, it is usual to employ some form of automated data acquisition. Also, since the changes in optical performance can be very small, it is important to ensure high measurement stability over time. 3.2 Precautions The following requirements shall be met. a) Precautions shall be take
39、n to ensure that cladding modes do not affect the measurement. b) Precautions shall be taken to prevent movement in the position of the fibre cables between the sample(s) and the test apparatus, to avoid changes in optical performance caused by bending losses. c) The stability performance of the tes
40、t equipment shall be 0,05 dB or 10 % of the attenuation to be measured, whichever is the lower value. The stability shall be maintained over the measurement time. The required measurement resolution shall be 0,01 dB for both multimode and single-mode. d) To achieve consistent results, clean and insp
41、ect all samples prior to measurement in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Visual examination shall be undertaken in accordance with IEC 61300-3-1 and IEC 61300-3-35. e) The power in the fibre shall be at a level that does not generate non-linear scattering effects (typically 10 dB, the
42、 following approximation for return loss may be used. RLi,t Pi,t Gi(5) The constant Giis evaluated using measurements made with the fibre from channel “i” of switch 1 terminated with a reference return loss. The reference return loss is a length of fibre one end of which is terminated with a known r

Gi= Pi,r S + 10 log (1 10 P/10) (6) where S is the reference return loss, in decibels (dB); Pi,sis the normalized power in channel “i” terminated with reference return loss S, in decibels (dB); P = Pi,s Pi,o(7) where Pi,ois the normalized reflected power with a high attenuation in the fi

45、e OTDR, to be computer-controlled. This control ensures that the 1 N switches are stepped synchronously and that the sources are switched at the appropriate time to make the necessary number of measurements. The control also ensures that the sequence is repeated periodically as defined in the releva
46、nt specification for the duration of the stress test. 5.4.2 Attenuation method 4 A measurement of attenuation of the DUT in channel “i” at time “t” is carried out as follows: iti,ti,ti,2JXrXfL += (8) where BS EN 61300-3-3:200961300-3-3 IEC:2009(E) 17 Xfi,tis the change in power in the OTDR display f
