23、rn loss of a singlemode fibre optic component on the state of polarization (SOP) of the light passing through the component. Return loss is the absolute value of the ratio in decibels of the total reflected power to the incident power from an optical fibre link or system. Since the SOP of light in a

24、 component is generally indeterminate and in fact often changing as a function of time, a component that exhibits polarization dependence will have varying return loss in a system. This procedure can be applied to any singlemode passive component and interconnecting device, including attenuators, is

25、olators, branching devices, switches, connectors, and splices, if applicable. 1.2 Normative reference The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC1300. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid

26、. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IEC1300 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid Interna

27、tional Standards. IEC875-1:1996, Fibre optic branching devices Part1: Generic specification. 2 General description The measurement is made by comparing the optical power incident on the device under test DUT with the optical power reflected along the incident path when the optical power with certain

28、 SOP is launched into the DUT. The comparison is made under different SOP. In the measurement, the DUT is usually a pigtailed fibre optic component. Both the optical power launched into the input port and reflected from the device along the incident path are monitored by tapping some of the power re

29、spectively through a polarization independent branching device. The comparison is generally facilitated by the use of automated data acquisition. Two methods for measuring the polarization dependence are described. 2.1 Method A Method A will determine the maximum polarization sensitivity over all po

30、ssible polarization states. Light is launched into the input port of the DUT such that linear, circular, and elliptical states of polarization with different axes of orientation can be adjusted while the power from the output ports is monitored. By adjusting for the maximum and minimum power through

31、 the DUT, the SOPs can result in the highest and lowest return loss of the DUT. Method A is preferred, particularly for any device in which the SOP of light passing through the device is changed. 2.2 Method B Method B will determine the maximum polarization sensitivity over all linearly polarized la

32、unch state of light passing through the device. Method B will generally understate the polarization sensitivity of return loss of devices which are not dependent on linearly polarized light. In this method, linearly polarized light is launched into the input port of the DUT. The linear SOP of the la

33、unch is typically rotated through a minimum of180 while the power reflected from the device under test is measured. If the input port of the DUT contains an integral fibre or cable pigtail, the pigtail shall be deployed in a straight line without any external stresses, for example bends, twists, kin

34、ks, or tension. This is necessary because the state of polarization carried in the fibre is altered by external stresses. 1) 1) Rashleigh, R.C., “Origins and Control of Polarization Effect in Single-Mode Fiber”, Journal of Lightwave Technology, vol.LT1#2, June1983, pp312331.EN61300-3-19:1997 4 BSI 0

35、9-1999 3 Apparatus The following apparatus and equipment are required to perform this test: 3.1 Optical source A laser source capable of producing the spectral characteristics defined in the detail specification (bothwavelength and spectral width) shall be used. Unless specified in the detail specif

36、ication, the spectral width shall be less than10nm. The source power shall be capable of meeting the dynamic range requirements of the measurement when combined with the detector sensitivity. The power shall be capable of being modulated or unmodulated as specified in the detail specification. The p

37、ower and wavelength stability of the source shall be sufficient to achieve the desired measurement accuracy over the course of the measurement. Unless otherwise specified, the power stability shall be within0,05dB. NOTEMultimode lasers may not provide sufficient polarization stability required for t

38、his measurement. 3.2 Excitation unit E This unit consists of a passive optical system which transmits the optical power to the component. Means shall be provided to ensure that higher order modes are sufficiently attenuated and the DUT is singlemoded at the wavelength of the measurement. 3.3 Polariz

39、ation adjuster PA This is a fixture or processor for adjusting the SOP of the incident optical beam for measurement purposes. It shall be compatible with the component being measured. Unless otherwise specified, the source shall be polarized to at least10 2 extinction ratio. If the source is not alr

40、eady polarized to this level, use a polarizer to maintain this extinction ratio over the range of wavelengths of the measurement. Two types of PA are recommended. 3.3.1 Method A Provide a means to reproducibly adjust the SOP of the launch through all possible states. The alignment of the system shal

41、l be adequate to ensure the reproducibility of launched power for the same orientation of the polarizer. The example in Figure 1 shows an in-line PA containing a linear polarizer P, a half-wave retardation plate H, and a quarter-wave retardation plate Q mounted on rotation stages in a collimated opt

42、ical path formed by two collimating lenses at the output of the monochromator. All of the components shall be compatible with the wavelength of the source, BD, and DUT. The P plate creates an initial linearly polarized beam at high extinction ratio regardless of the initial degree of the polarizatio

43、n of the light beam. The Q plate will change the beam to any SOP from linearly polarized through elliptical and circularly polarized. The H plate takes the SOP created by the Q plate and rotates it to any angle in the plane which is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation, while maintainin

44、g the degree of polarization. These three plates shall be aligned properly in the optical beam and the rotation angles (e.g.FP,FQ, andFH) can be adjusted respectively and accurately around their common axis. The angles shall be repeatable and clear to read. With this combination of elements, every p

45、ossible SOP can be produced. Other means to reproducibly adjust the state of polarization are permitted, for example in-line fibre polarization controllers or other polarization instrumentation as specified in the detail specification. Figure 1 PA example for method AEN61300-3-19:1997 BSI 09-1999 5

46、3.3.2 Method B For method B, the PA shall provide a means to reproducibly launch linearly polarized light and rotate it through at least180 . The alignment of the system shall be adequate to ensure the reproducibility of launched power for the same orientation of the polarizer. The example in Figure

47、 2 shows a linear polarizer P and a half-wave retardation plate H mounted on rotation stages and inserted into the collimated optical path produced at the output of the source. Other means to reproducibly adjust the state of polarization are permitted, for example in-line fibre polarization controll

48、ers or other polarization instrumentation as specified in the detail specification. 3.4 Polarization independent branching device BD This is a precisely made or selected2 2 directional branching device capable of being used at the wavelength of the optical source for measurement purposes and having

49、known characteristics. The directivity of the BD shall be better than55dB. Its splitting ratio SR of the transferring power from the input port to two output ports shall be502% at that wavelength. The characteristics of the BD shall be polarization independent. Unless otherwise specified, the polarization stability shall be DSR1%maximum. 3.5 Temporary joint TJ This is a method, device, or mechanical fixture for temporarily aligning two fibre ends into a reproducible, low loss joint, and polarization independent splic
