19、 describes and gives background information for the laser source and fiber selection criteria required to achieve enhanced bandwidth performance over local area networks (LANs) based on multimode fiber links and laser sources. Such a link is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Basic link addressed by this

20、 bulletin. These criteria come from developments in the TIA Working Group on the Modal Dependence of Bandwidth (FO-2.2.1) (the Working Group) from 1997 to 2000. Without appropriate source and fiber selection criteria, fiber link lengths for LANs must be set very conservatively to minimize risk of li

21、nk failure. The Working Group has developed and tested new test procedures that characterize the laser source near field and the multimode fibers bandwidth performance under restricted launch conditions. Limiting the allowable range of these source and fiber parameters assures that a link will meet

22、enhanced bandwidth performance conditions with an acceptable risk of link failure (below 1%) for maximum link lengths. Shorter links will have lower risks of link failure. 1.2 Scope Although the methodology described here to characterize both sources and fiber may be broadly applicable to different

23、source and fiber types, the specific selection criteria addressed in this bulletin are only applicable to LANs based on short-wavelength (830 - 860 nm) laser sources and graded-index 62.5/125 m optical fibers. Short-wavelength networks based on graded-index 50/125 m fiber alread perform at gigabit-p

24、er-second data rates over link lengths of up to 550 meters , criteria for enhanced network performance is therefore less urgent for these networks. Nevertheless, enhanced network performance for 50/125 m fiber systems (e.g. 1 O gigabit-per-second systems) is currently (as of September 2000) under co

25、nsideration in the Working Group. Y. 1 Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TSB-62-20 2 Background and History The move toward high-speed (2 1 gigabit-per-second) LAN

26、s requires the greater modulation capabilities of laser sources like the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) or the edge-emitting semiconductor laser diode. Unlike the less coherent light emitting diode (LED), laser sources typically excite only a subset of the fiber modes available. This

27、 change in source property together with the inter- modal dispersion properties of the fiber requires that both source and multimode fiber be characterized and/or modified especially for high-speed LAN applications. 2.1 Launch Conditioning The Working Group began looking into short-wavelength (-850

28、nm) laser source characterization in the spring of 1998. Characterization of the multimode fiber would follow later that same year. This work followed work that the Group performed in association with the I EEE 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet standardization effort. There, it was found that laser launch cond

29、itioning led to more predictable worst-case bandwidth performance. In particular, an offset single-mode fiber launch into multimode fiber employed with 1300 nm laser sources and implemented with a special hybrid patchcord gave a bandwidth performance that predictably met or exceeded the overfilled l

30、aunch (OFL) performance specification of the 62.5 pm core multimode fibeQ. This result allowed the adoption of an acceptably long link length of 550 meters for the Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX standard. No such launch conditioning was prescribed for the short-wavelength (-850 nm) 1 000BASE-SX Gigabi

31、t Ethernet standard, and the resulting link length for 62.5 m fiber was less than 300 m. The Working Group realized that conditioning the launch of the short-wavelength sources might lead to significant improvement in allowable link length, particularly for 62.5 m fiber. Unlike the offset launch sol

32、ution employed for the 1300 nm sources, the solution for the short-wavelength sources would ideally involve no external patchcord. This was desired to preserve the low-cost potential of the short-wavelength sources. A simple restriction of allowable source launch characteristics might yield the desi

33、red performance enhancement. The Working Group began by looking at the near-field properties of the laser source. 2.2 Source Near Field 2.2.1 Mode Power Distribution Initially, the Working Group attempted to characterize the near field of the source by applying a measurement of the mode power distri

34、bution produced by the laser source in a length of multimode fiber. This measurement is described in EIA/TIA ITM-3. It quickly became apparent, however, that such an approach was not 2 Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproducti

35、on or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TSB-62-20 satisfactory. ITM-3 assumes that all modes within a mode group have the same energy. This equipartion-of-energy assumption does not generally hold for multimode fibers under 1 km in length. Energy redistribution amongst modes within a

36、 mode group occurs over longer fiber lengths, if it occurs at all. Since lasers initially excite a fraction of the modes excited by an LED, this failure of energy redistribution becomes particularly important for laser source characterization. The near-field intensity as a function of radius was oft

37、en observed to be non-symmetrical and non-monotonic. These near-field patterns produced non-physical computed mode power distributions, i.e. negative mode- group powers. 2.2.2 Encircled Flux The Working Group eventually settled on another measure of the laser near field, the Encircled Flux (EF). Enc

38、ircled Flux is obtained from the near-field intensity pattern produced by a laser source in a 10 m length of 62.5 m core, graded-index multimode fiber. It is the near-field pattern at the end of this fiber (as opposed to the near field at the laser source itself) that is more relevant to system perf

39、ormance. This is because the only relevant part of the laser source energy is that which is coupled into the fiber. In general, such a near field will have a non-uniform shape that includes speckle. By integrating over radius and over all azimuthal angles, the Working Group collapsed the two-dimensi

40、onal near-field information into a one-dimensional radial function, giving the fractional power launched by a source within a given fiber radius. The complexity in the raw near-field data is avoided by exploiting the axial symmetry of the fiber, and, unlike the measurement of mode power distribution

41、, no assumption on the equipartition of energy within mode groups is required. Typical near-field patterns for an LED and a VCSEL source at the end of a IO-meter, graded-index, 62.5 m fiber jumper are shown in Figure 2. Note that while the near-field intensity and annular flux for the VCSEL are irre

42、gular, the encircled flux as a function of radius is smooth and monotonically increasing. Since it is the launch power distribution and not the absolute power that is of interest, the normalized encircled flux is plotted and compared. The detailed procedure for obtaining encircled flux is defined in

The latter was tested with inter-laboratory round robins. The first round-robin comparison involved 17 laser

45、sources, 9 VCSELS and 8 edge-emitting (CD) lasers and two LEDs. The range of encircled flux encountered in this comparison is shown in Figure 3, where the shaded boxes define the source selection criteria of Table I below. Curves for sources that satisfy the criteria lie between the shaded boxes. 4

The encircled flux at 15 m radius ranged from 0.5 to 0.97, indicating that a broad range of sources was tested.

48、 The pooled standard deviation for encircled flux at 15 m was 10% across the 17 sources. Subsequent round-robin comparisons showed inter-laboratory agreement of 7.3% and a pooled standard deviation across the five participating labs of 3.6%.
