19、INTERPRETATION OF OTDR BACKSCATTERING TRACES FOR SINGLE-MODE FIBRES FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote internati

20、onal co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter re

21、ferred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate

22、 in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance 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 inter

23、national consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested 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 reason

24、able efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible 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

25、Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between 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 conform

26、ity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of 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 publicatio

27、n. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and 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 fo

28、r costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication 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 a

29、pplication of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare Int

30、ernational Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a Technical Report when it has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC TR 62316, which is a Technical Report, has bee

31、n prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the pre

32、vious edition: a) the scope has been extended to include single-mode fibres; a) backscattered power effects are discussed in case of unidirectional trace, including so-called losers and gainers. b) example of apparent splice loss evaluation for unidirectional OTDR measurements has been added: IEC TR

33、 62316 IEC 2017 5 c) description of launch and tail cords have been added; d) figures have been improved. The text of this Technical Report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 86A/1754/DTR 86A/1768A/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical

34、 report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under

35、“http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document 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 colour inside logo on the cover page of thi

36、s 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. 6 IEC TR 62316 IEC 2017 GUIDANCE FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF OTDR BACKSCATTERING TRACES FOR SINGLE-MODE F

37、IBRES 1 Scope IEC 62316, which is a Technical Report, aims to provide guidelines for the interpretation of backscattering traces, as obtained by traditional optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) not including polarization OTDRs for single-mode fibres. Also, backscattered power effects are discu

38、ssed in case of unidirectional trace. Full description of the test measurement procedure can be found in Annex C of IEC 60793-1-40:2001. 2 Normative references There are no normative references in this document. 3 Terms and definitions No terms and definitions are listed in this document. ISO and IE

39、C maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: IEC Electropedia: available at http:/www.electropedia.org/ ISO Online browsing platform: available at http:/www.iso.org/obp 4 Backscattering phenomenon 4.1 Rayleigh scattering Rayleigh scattering or backscatte

40、ring originates from fluctuations in the density, and hence in the index of refraction, of the material constituting the wave-guide; optical fibres are made of amorphous silica, and density fluctuations are a consequence of the manufacturing process. 4.2 Fresnel reflections and dead zone fibres When

41、 a light ray reaches a surface at an angle of incidence from the normal to that surface and that surface separates two media of different index of refraction, part of this light ray is refracted in the second medium and part of it is reflected backward into the first medium. This is the Fresnel refl

42、ection, which can be very high, depending on the difference in the index of refraction of the two media, on the aspect of the surface, the surface roughness, the angle of incidence and the surface defects. In most situations, strong Fresnel reflections cause non-linearities at the receiver. These no

43、n-linearities can overload the receiver resulting in signal clipping, pulse widening, tailing, and ghosts. The corresponding section of the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) trace following the intense Fresnel reflection defines the deadzone. This particular deadzone should not be confused wi

44、th the manufacturers specification, always defined with a narrow pulse and small Fresnel reflection. The effect of the strong reflection on the deadzone is usually resolved by cleaning the connector responsible for the reflection. The so-called deadzone eliminator (adding a length of fibre after a s

45、trong reflection) does not reduce the deadzone nor the strong reflection. It artificially moves the virtual bulkhead connector to another location and assumes the following connector has a low reflection. Depending on the type of photodetector used in the receiver, the tailing due to a strong reflec

46、tion can be greater than the fibre length inserted between the OTDR and the fibre under test. IEC TR 62316 IEC 2017 7 5 Measurement of the backscattered power (OTDR) 5.1 General The power backscattered by an optical fibre is measured by means of OTDRs. They are based on the principle of sending one

47、pulse or typically a train of pulses from one fibre end, and measure the power back-reflected from the fibre at the same end. In OTDR traces, space and time are completely equivalent through the relation: ) ( g n c t z =(1) where z is the distance (in meters); t is the time (in seconds); c is the sp

48、eed of light in vacuum (299 792 458 meters/second); n gis the group index of refraction (as a function of the wavelength). The group index of refraction, to be supplied by the fibre manufacturer, takes into account the wave-guiding properties of the fibre and the different materials used for the cla

49、dding and the core. It also adjusts the speed of light in the studied material. The group index of refraction n gis related to the phase index n or n p(which is measured on a fibre and its fundamental attribute) by using the following expression: d dn n n p p g = (2) 5.2 Representation of the backscattered power A possible schematic representation of the OTDR power P(z) at wavelength backscattered by a point z along an optical fibre is: ( ) z P z C z P 10 2 w i 2 2 10 ) ( )
