28、mission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
29、 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee
30、 interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accorda
31、nce with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all inter
32、ested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsi
33、ble for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence b
34、etween any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of
35、 conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
36、 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publicat
37、ion or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publicat
38、ion may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60793-1-43 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This second edition cancels and repla
39、ces the first edition published in 2001, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: expansion of the scope to include A1, A2, A3 and A4 multimode fibre categories; addition of measurement parameters of
40、 sample length and threshold values, product specific to the variables that are now found in the product specifications; a new Annex B entitled “Product specific default values for NA measurement“; addition of a new Technique 4 for measuring NA of A4d fibres; BS EN 60793-1-43:2015IEC 60793-1-43:2015
41、 IEC 2015 5 a new Annex A entitled “Mapping NA measurement to alternative lengths“ that gives a mapping function to correlate shorter sample length measurements to the length suggested in the reference test method Naff. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60793-1-1, IEC
42、 60793-1-21 and IEC 60793-1-22. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 86A/1566/CDV 86A/1622/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been
43、drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts in the IEC 60793 series, published under the general title Optical fibres, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date in
44、dicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. IMPORTANT The colo
45、ur inside logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer. BS EN 60793-1-43:2015 6 IEC 60793-1-43:2015 IEC 2015 OPTICAL FIB
46、RES Part 143: Measurement methods and test procedures Numerical aperture measurement 1 Scope This part of IEC 60793 establishes uniform requirements for measuring the numerical aperture of optical fibre, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial purposes. The numerical
47、aperture (NA) of categories A1, A2, A3 and A4 multimode fibre is an important parameter that describes a fibres light-gathering ability. It is used to predict launching efficiency, joint loss at splices, and micro/macrobending performance. The numerical aperture is defined by measuring the far-field
48、 pattern (NAff). In some cases the theoretical numerical aperture (NAth) is used in the literature, which can be determined from measuring the difference in refractive indexes between the core and cladding. Ideally these two methods should produce the same value. 2 Normative references The following
