33、attenuation of optical fibre, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial purposes. Four methods are described for measuring attenuation, one of which being that for modelling spectral attenuation: method A: cut-back; method B: insertion loss; method C: backscattering; me

34、thod D: modelling spectral attenuation. Methods A to C apply to the measurement of attenuation for all categories of the following fibres: class A multimode fibres; class B single-mode fibres. Method C, backscattering, also covers the location, losses and characterization of point discontinuities. T

35、o date, method D has been demonstrated only on class B fibres. Information common to all three measurements, and to the modelling method, appears in clauses 1 to 8, and information pertaining to each individual method appears in annexes A, B, C, and D, respectively. 2 Normative references The follow

39、ly. NOTE Attenuation is a measure of the decreasing optical power in a fibre at a given wavelength. It depends on the nature and length of the fibre and is also affected by measurement conditions. Uncontrolled launching conditions normally excite higher order lossy modes that produce transient losse

40、s and result in attenuation that is not proportional to the length of the fibre. A controlled, steady-state launching condition yields attenuation that is proportional to the fibres length. Under steady-state conditions, an attenuation coefficient of a fibre can be determined and the attenuation of

41、concatenated fibres added linearly. 3.1 attenuation attenuation of a fibre at wavelength between two cross-sections, 1 and 2, separated by a distance and defined as A () = | 10 log 10) ( ) ( 2 1 P P| (1) where A() is the attenuation, in dB, at wavelength ; P 1 () is the optical power traversing cros

45、the OTDR signal). Although a point discontinuity can have a length greater than the corresponding displayed pulse duration (including transmitter and receiver effects), the length is usually about equal to the pulse duration. For a correct interpretation, the guidelines in IEC 60793-1-22 should be f
