32、n dependent loss in a single-mode fibre optic device IEC/TR 62316, Guidance for the interpretation of OTDR backscattering traces 3 General description 3.1 General Attenuation is intended to give a value for the decrease of useful power, expressed in decibels, resulting from the insertion of a device
33、 under test (DUT), within a length of optical fibre cable. The term insertion loss is sometimes used in place of attenuation. The DUT may have more than two optical ports. However, since an attenuation measurement is made across only two ports, the DUTs in this standard shall be described as having
34、two ports. Eight different DUT configurations are described. The differences between these configurations are primarily in the terminations of the optical ports. Terminations may consist of bare fibre, a connector plug, or a receptacle. The reference method for measuring attenuation is with an optic
35、al power meter. Optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) measurements are presented as an alternative method. Three variations in the measurement of attenuation with a power meter are presented. The reference BS EN 61300-3-4:2013 6 61300-3-4 IEC:2012 and alternative methods to be used for each DUT c
36、onfiguration are defined in Table 3. Different test configurations and methods will result in different accuracies of the attenuation being measured. In cases of dispute, the reference test method should be used. 3.2 Precautions The power in the fibre shall not be at a level high enough to generate
37、non-linear scattering effects. The position of the fibres in the test should be fixed between the measurement of P0and P1to avoid changes in attenuation due to bending loss. In multimode measurements, a change in modal distribution in the measurement system due to fibre disturbance, will affect the
38、attenuation measurement. Components with polarization dependent loss will show different attenuation depending on the input state of polarization from the source. If the component PDL can exceed the acceptable uncertainty in the attenuation measurement, then either an unpolarized or polarization scr
39、ambled source can be used to measure the polarization averaged attenuation or the methods of IEC 61300-3-2 should be used to measure PDL and attenuation together. The safety recommendations in IEC 60825-1, Safety of laser products, should be followed. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Launch conditions and source (S)

42、uch as tunable lasers. It is therefore recommended in these cases that the preferred source characteristics are specified on the basis of the component to be measured. NOTE 2 Central wavelength and spectral width are defined in IEC 61280-1-3. The launch condition shall be specified in accordance wit
43、h Clause 9 of IEC 61300-1:2011. The source unit consists of an optical emitter, the associated drive electronics and fibre pigtail (if any). Preferred source conditions are given in Table 1. The stability of the single-mode fibre source at 23 C shall be 0,01 dB over the duration of the measurement.
44、The stability of the multimode fibre source at 23 C shall be 0,05 dB over the duration of the measurement. The source output power shall be 20 dB above the minimum measurable power level. BS EN 61300-3-4:201361300-3-4 IEC:2012 7 4.2 Optical power meter (D) The power meter unit consists of an optical
45、 detector, the mechanism for connecting to it and associated detection electronics. The connection to the detector will either be with an adaptor that accepts a bare fibre or a connector plug of the appropriate design. The measurement system shall be stable within specified limits over the period of
46、 time required to measure P0and P1. For measurements where the connection to the detector must be broken between the measurement of P0and P1, the measurement repeatability shall be within 0,02 dB. A detector with a large sensitive area may be used to achieve this. The precise characteristics of the
47、detector shall be compatible with the measurement requirements. The dynamic range of the power meter shall be capable of measuring the power level exiting from the DUT at the wavelength being measured. The preferred power meter parameters are given below in Table 2. The power meter shall be calibrat
48、ed for the operational wavelength and power level. The power meter stability should be 0,01 dB over the measurement time and operational temperature range. The stability and validity of dark current corrections from zeroing calibration can influence this. Table 2 Preferred power meter parameters Num
