BSI22July2002 Page4 EN6129053:2002 OPTICAL FIBRE AMPLIFIERS BASIC SPECIFICATION Part 5-3: Test methods for reflectance parameters Reflectance tolerance using an electrical spectrum analyser 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 61290 applies to op

25、tical fibre amplifiers (OFAs) using active fibres, containing rare-earth dopants, presently commercially available. The object of this International Standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the electrical spectrum analyser test method, of the

26、following OFA parameters, as defined in clause 3 of IEC 61291-1: a) maximum reflectance tolerable at input b) maximum reflectance tolerable at output c) maximum reflectance tolerable at input and output NOTE All numerical values followed by () are currently under study. A measurement accuracy for re

27、flectance tolerable of 0,5 dB should be attainable with this method. The present test method uses the noise figure as the measure of the “tolerance” against reflectance at each port of the OFA. This is because the (total) noise figure of the OFA may significantly degrade due to the multiple-interfer

28、ence if reflectance at one or both of each OFA port exists. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

32、ddition to the following. a) Variable reflector(s) which generate reflectances from 55 dB() to 8,5 dB() with insertion loss variation 0,05 dB (when set at any reflectance). A variable reflector can consist of an optical splitter with a variable attenuator and highly reflective mirror at one output p

33、ort (to reflect a portion of the power), with the other output port to be connected to the remainder of the measurement configuration. It also can consist of an optical splitter with a variable attenuator in a “loop” configuration at one output port (this has an optical directional coupler “return”

34、the attenuated optical power to the “input port”), with the other output port to be connected to the remainder of the measurement configuration. Note that there are other options. b) Optical isolators to ensure variable reflectors and other reflections have no influence on the relative intensity noi

35、se (RIN) produced by the test configuration. These isolators shall have an optical isolation of better than 55 dB() and reflectances at each port 55 dB(). 4 Test sample The OFA shall operate at nominal operating conditions. Care shall be taken in maintaining the state of polarization of the input li

NOTE 1 The output reflectance test procedure should only be performed on OFAs that have the complete optics (i.e.,

37、have sufficient attenuation in the direction opposite the signal). This measurement is of little or no value for OFA devices that do not have all the optics for “black-box” OFA ready for use in an optical communications system. NOTE 2 The maximum reflectance tolerable at each port may depend on the

38、optical gain and consequently on the signal power and pump power. NOTE 3 The line width of the optical source shall not be too narrow to let the interferometric signal due to multiple reflections affect the measurements. NOTE 4 Polarization dependence of the reflection parameters is not considered a

BSI22July2002 Page6 EN6129053:2002 5 Procedure All noise measurements are to be made as a function of baseband frequency, in other words the modulation frequency of the laser source. One may perform these measurements: (1) over a range of frequencies s

40、pecified in the detailed specification (for example, from 10 MHz to 2 GHz in steps of 5 MHz) or (2) at two to five frequencies as specified in the detailed specification. It is assumed that all OFA NF specifications include the “worst-case” scenario (i.e., minimum input signal power, a certain wavel

41、ength, lowest modulation frequency 10 MHz() and linewidth 20 MHz(). In some cases, multiple reflections within an OFA can cause multipath interference (mpi) (see IEC 61290-3). This test procedure deals with the increase in this “mpi” noise factor contribution (due to the presence of external reflect

42、ions). To ensure accuracy and repeatability of this procedure, the maximum noise factor contribution from mpi ) , , , ( case worst case worst in max mpi u f u P F , as specified at the “worst-case” frequency and linewidth, shall be translated into the ) , , , ( meas meas in mpi u f u P F that result

Another method of performing this “translation” is to determine the mpi figure of merit mpi I that creates ) , , , ( case worst case worst in max mpi u f u P F . The measurement essentially determ

44、ines the magnitude of the reflectances at input port, output port, or both ports simultaneously, that can generate the specified total noise figure at the “worst-case” frequency and linewidth. 5.1 Calibration Follow the calibration procedure given in 5.1 of IEC 61290-3-2. 5.2 Measurements and comput

45、ation a) Maximum reflectance tolerable at input and output 1) With a variable optical attenuator (input attenuator), isolator, polarization controller and variable reflector after the optical transmitter, set the input signal power to the OFA, as specified in the relevant detailed specification ( in

46、 P ). Check this power with an optical power meter. 2) Insert OFA (figure 1), a second polarization controller, a second variable reflector, and a second variable attenuator (output attenuator) prior to the receiver. Set variable reflectors initially to 1 R 2 R 55 dB() where R 1and R 2 are the refle

47、ctances. 3) Perform the procedure according to 5.2 of IEC 61290-3-2. From these measurements, the frequency independent contribution to the noise factor ( mpi non F ) and mpi figure of merit ( mpi I ) can be determined. 4) When external reflectances are present, their influence on mpi non F will be

48、negligible compared to the effects on mpi I . Assuming mpi non F is constant, determine the minimum mpi I that could create the “worst-case” noise factor specified at the lowest modulation frequency 10 MHz(), and linewidth 20 MHz(): BSI22July2002 Page7 EN6129053:2002 case worst 2 case worst 2 case worst mpi non case worst mpi 2 ) ( u u f F F I (1) where I is the figure of merit; F is the noise factor; f is the modulation frequency; mpi is the multipath interference; u is the optical frequency. 5) Determine the “worst-case” noise factors at the modulation frequencies (indicated in
