24、 AND PASSIVE COMPONENTS BASIC TEST AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Part 3-32: Examinations and measurements Polarization mode dispersion measurement for passive optical components 1 Scope This part of IEC 61300 presents a number of alternative methods for measuring the polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
25、of a passive fibre optic device under test (DUT). These methods typically measure PMD using either a frequency domain or time domain approach. In the frequency domain, the polarization properties of the DUT are analysed. In the time domain approach, the pulse delay or broadening is observed. This pr
26、ocedure will cover measurements of both broadband, and narrowband dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) passive fibre optic devices. Differences between measurement practices for these varied classes of passive fibre optic devices will be noted in the text. This procedure can be applied to l
27、aboratory, factory and field measurements of PMD in passive fibre optic devices. Limitation of the application of some methods will be noted in the text when necessary. This procedure can be applied to a transmissive or reflective DUT. In the latter case, the DUT connection is via a coupler or circu
28、lator, which should have a known very low PMD value. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

34、an optical pulse due to polarization-related anomalies. In optical communication systems, the spreading of a pulse leads to bit errors at the receiver due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) and consequently provides bandwidth limitation. Each optical pulse is made up of a combination of two orthogon
35、al SOPs called the principal SOPs (PSPs), due to birefringence possibly present in the DUT (see Figure 1). These different polarization components travel at different group velocities and will arrive at the output of the DUT at different times. PMD is related to the difference between the two PSP de
36、lays, the DGD . 6 EN 61300-3-32:2006 t z, t Fast axis Slow axis IEC 1546/06 Figure 1 Effect of PMD phenomenon on transmission of an information bit pulse in a device 4.1 Mode coupling PMD in passive fibre optic devices is usually deterministic by nature meaning that the phenomenon is predictable and
37、 can be reproduced and controlled. However, it is important to understand how the polarization modes can couple together in the device, and in fact they can couple differently. In optical passive fibre optic devices, the mode coupling is typically referred to as negligible or no or negligible (inclu
38、ding the cases of polarization maintaining fibres and short lengths of ordinary fibre) as opposed to random or strong mode coupling such as frequently seen in the case of long lengths of fibre. In no or negligible mode coupling, the axis of birefringence in the device is fixed and constant in only o
39、ne section of birefringence and consequently the DGD is constant as a function of wavelength. In that case the PMD is equal to the DGD. There can however be types of passive fibre optic devices exhibiting many sections of fixed birefringence with their axes not necessarily aligned with each other ma
40、king the DGD randomly varying as a function of wavelength. In that case, the mode coupling is random. Even if the DGD varies, as a function of wavelength and the mode coupling is random, this variation will be constant from one measurement to another and it can still be predicted and the phenomenon
41、is still deterministic. In that case, the PMD is the average value of the DGD spectral distribution (the root mean squared RMS value may also be used and is accepted). There can also be intermediate cases where the passive fibre optic device has few birefringence sections and the DGD can vary less r
42、andomly such as a monotonous or sine wave variation as a function of wavelength. The PMD is still the average or RMS value of the DGD distribution and the phenomenon is still deterministic but the mode coupling is neither negligible nor random. The mode coupling describes how the SOPs are maintained
43、 as energy traverses the device. Rather, each device is shown to have a polarization transfer function whereby the SOP at the input is mapped to a different SOP at the output as a function of wavelength. This transfer function is commonly represented using the Jones matrix and will be explained late
44、r in the document. 4.2 Narrowband devices There are other cases of classification that are related to the PMD phenomenon and need to be taken into account. This includes narrowband devices. A narrowband device can have a small DGD distribution while experiencing a wide Fourier time spectrum 7 EN 613
45、00-3-32:2006with a more complex spectrum in the time domain. Care will also have to be taken when making analysis of DGD in the time domain versus the spectral domain. 4.3 Polarization sensitivity Another complicating factor is related to the presence of PDL in the DUT. Figure 1 illustrates such a c
46、ase where at the output of the DUT the bits are not only broadened (in absence of PDL) but also distorted (in presence of PDL). In the case of PDL, the two PSPs are not necessarily orthogonal anymore (not anymore 180oapart on the Poincar sphere). In this case, this test procedure will be restricted
47、to devices with PDL equal to or less than 1 dB to allow the application of all suggested methods. This condition is typically met inside the passband of typical passive fibre optic devices used in DWDM systems. PDL or polarization sensitivity may severely impact the correct determination of DUT DGD.
48、 PDL may be measured by using IEC 61300-3-2. However, some possible exclusions or assumptions can be made to reduce the complexity of the situation. For example, a device with high PDL (10 dB) will generally be used for single-polarization operation. It is therefore possible to argue that for such a
49、 device, PDL is the relevant parameter, not PMD. Therefore with the above justification the scope of this document is restricted to exclude devices that have high (10 dB) PDL. Such devices include polarizer, polarization sensitive splitters or modulators etc. For devices with low PDL (10 dB) this error is likely to be unacceptably high. 4.4 Multiple path interference Passive fibre optic devices may contain bulk optical element
