28、 1-41: Measurement methods and test procedures Bandwidth 1 Scope This part of IEC 60793 describes three methods for determining and measuring the modal bandwidth of multimode optical fibres (see IEC 60793-2-10, IEC 60793-30 series and IEC 60793-40 series). The baseband frequency response is directly
29、 measured in the frequency domain by determining the fibre response to a sinusoidaly modulated light source. The baseband response can also be measured by observing the broadening of a narrow pulse of light. The calculated response is determined using differential mode delay (DMD) data. The three me
30、thods are: Method A Time domain (pulse distortion) measurement Method B Frequency-domain measurement Method C Overfilled launch modal bandwidth calculated from differential mode delay (OMBc) Methods A and B can be performed using one of two launches: an overfilled launch (OFL) condition or a restric
31、ted mode launch (RML) condition. Method C is only defined for A1a.2 (and A1a.3 in preparation) multimode fibre and uses a weighted summation of DMD launch responses with the weights corresponding to an overfilled launch condition. The relevant test method and launch condition should be chosen accord
32、ing to the type of fibre. NOTE 1 These test methods are commonly used in production and research facilities and are not easily accomplished in the field. NOTE 2 OFL has been used for the modal bandwidth value for LED-based applications for many years. However, no single launch condition is represent
33、ative of the laser (e.g. VCSEL) sources that are used for gigabit and higher rate transmission. This fact drove the development of IEC 60793-1-49 for determining the effective modal bandwidth of laser optimized 50 m fibres. See IEC 60793-2-10:2004 or later and IEC 61280-4-1:2003 or later for more in

37、 modulation frequency at which the magnitude of the baseband transfer function of an optical fibre decreases to a specified fraction, generally to one half, of the zero frequency value. The bandwidth is denoted in this document as f3 dB. NOTE It is known that there can be various calculations, somet
38、imes called markdowns, to avoid reporting extremely high values associated with “plateaus”. For example the 1,5 dB frequency, multiplied by 2is one treatment used in IEC 60793-1-49. If such a calculation is used it should clearly be reported. 3.2 transfer function discrete function of complex number
39、s, dependent on frequency, representing the frequency-domain response of the fibre under test NOTE Method A determines the frequency response by processing time domain data through Fourier transforms. Method B can only measure the transfer function if an instrument which measures phase as well as am
40、plitude is used. Method C is similar to Method A as it uses Fourier transforms in a similar manner. The transfer Function is denoted in this document as H(f). 3.3 power spectrum discrete function of real numbers, dependent on frequency, representing the amplitude of the frequency-domain response of
41、the fibre under test NOTE Methods A and C determine the power spectrum from the transfer function. Method B determines the transfer function by taking the ratio of the amplitude measured through the fibre under test and the reference. The power spectrum is denoted in this document as |H(f)|. 3.4 imp
42、ulse response discrete function of real numbers, dependent on time, representing the time-domain response of the fibre under test to a perfect impulse stimulus. The impulse response is derived, in all methods, through the inverse Fourier transform of the transfer function. The impulse response is de
43、noted in this document as h(t). 4 Apparatus 4.1 Radiation source 4.1.1 Method A Time domain (pulse distortion) measurement Use a radiation source such as an injection laser diode that produces short duration, narrow spectral width pulses for the purposes of the measurement. The pulse distortion meas
44、urement method requires the capability to switch the energy of the light sources electrically or optically. Some light sources shall be electrically triggered to produce a pulse; in this case a means shall be provided to produce triggering pulses. An electrical function generator or equivalent can b
45、e used for this purpose. Its output should be used to both induce pulsing in the light source and to trigger the recording system. Other light sources may self-trigger; in this case, means shall be provided to synchronize the recording system with the pulses coming from the light source. This may be
46、 accomplished in some cases electrically; in other cases optoelectronic means may be employed. BS EN 60793-1-41:2010 8 60793-1-41 IEC:2010 4.1.2 Method B Frequency domain measurement Use a radiation source such as a continuous wave (CW) injection laser diode for the purposes of the measurement. The
47、frequency domain measurement method requires the capability to modulate the energy of the light sources electrically or optically. Connect the modulation output of the tracking generator or network analyzer through any required driving amplifiers to the modulator. 4.1.3 Method C Overfilled launch mo
48、dal bandwidth calculated from differential mode delay (OMBc) Use a radiation source as described in IEC 60793-1-49. 4.1.4 For methods A and B a) Use a radiation source with a centre wavelength that is known and within 10 nm of the nominal specified wavelength. For injection laser diodes, laser emiss
49、ion coupled into the fibre shallexceed spontaneous emission by a minimum of 15 dB (optical). b) Use a source with sufficiently narrow linewidth to assure the measured bandwidth is at least 90 % of the intermodal bandwidth. This is accomplished by calculating the normalized intermodal dispersion limit, NIDL (refer to Annex A). For A4 fibre, the linewidth of any laser diode is narrow enough to neglect its contribution to bandwidth measurement. c) For
