25、measurements Error and repeatability of the attenuation settings of a variable optical attenuator 1 Scope This part of IEC 61300 provides a method to measure the error and repeatability of the attenuation value settings of a variable optical attenuator (VOA). There are two control technologies for V

26、OAs, manually controlled and electrically controlled. This standard covers both control technologies of VOAs and also covers both single-mode and multimode fibre VOAs. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensab

27、le for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

28、: General and guidance IEC 61300-3-4, Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components Basic test and measurement procedures Part 3-4:Examinations and measurements Attenuation 3 General description A variable optical attenuator is adjusted sequentially through a series of nominal attenuati

29、on settings prescribed in the relevant specification. For an electrically controlled VOA, the attenuation is set by applying electrical voltage or current to the device. There are two categories of VOAs: those that can be adjusted to nominal attenuation levels; those that have no information on the

30、nominal attenuation levels. Some manually controlled VOAs have a scaled dial to indicate the nominal attenuation levels. Some electrically controlled VOAs have a table (or equation) indicating the applied voltage (or current) corresponding to nominal attenuation levels. This measurement method of at

31、tenuation error and repeatability can only be applied to VOAs which can be adjusted to nominal attenuation levels. In this type of measurement, the attenuation value is measured at each setting. This sequence of measurements is repeated a number of times as prescribed in the relevant specification.

32、The error of the attenuator at each setting is then given by the difference between the mean of the measured values and the nominal value. The repeatability at each setting is given by a value of plus and minus three times the standard deviation of the measurements. BS EN 61300-3-14:2014 6 IEC 61300

33、-3-14:2014 IEC:2014 Generally the nominal attenuation levels are provided in different two ways, i.e. absolute or relative attenuation calibration levels. Figure 1a characterizes an attenuator which is calibrated to read the actual or measured attenuation. Figure 1b characterizes an attenuator for w

34、hich the manufacturer provides the calibration results relative to a zero-point setting. When the attenuator is adjusted to read zero, the actual or measured attenuation will be some value greater than zero. 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 Nominal attenuation setting (Ai) dB Measured attenuation(ai) dB(A1, a1

37、e output power of the light source shall be sufficiently high to permit a sufficiently large measurement dynamic range with the optical detector used. The output power stability shall be less than or equal to 0,05 dB over one hour. The dynamic range of the source/detector combination shall be at lea

38、st 10 dB greater than the absolute value of the maximum attenuation value to be measured. However the output power into the fibre shall not exceed the maximum operating input power rating of the VOA to be tested. The wavelength and spectral width of the light source shall correspond to the operating

39、 wavelength range and calibration settings of the VOA to be measured. For the measurement of single-mode VOAs, polarization dependent loss (PDL) may influence the error and repeatability of attenuation values. Unless otherwise specified, random polarization states shall be used or the PDL shall also

40、 be characterized. Other requirements of the light source and launch conditions shall be in accordance with IEC 61300-3-4. An excitation unit shall be used to satisfy the launch condition defined in IEC 61300-1, if necessary. Moreover cladding modes shall be stripped as typically achieved by the fib

41、re coating, so that they do not affect the measurement. 4.2 Detector (D) A high dynamic range optical power meter should be used for the detector. Its wavelength range shall be wider than the operating wavelength range of the VOA to be measured. In order to make measurements with low uncertainty, th

42、e linearity of the optical power meter is most important for the error and repeatability of VOA measurements. The minimum resolution of the detector shall be 0,01 dB. Other requirements of detector shall be in accordance with IEC 61300-3-4. 4.3 Reference fibre (RF) In order to measure the output pow

43、er of the light source, a reference fibre is used. The reference fibre shall be of the same performance as the pigtail fibre of the VOA to be measured. 4.4 Temporary joint (TJ) This is a method, device or mechanical fixture for temporarily aligning two fibre ends into a stable, reproducible, low-los

44、s joint. It is used when direct connection of the device under test (DUT) to the measurement system is not achievable by a standard connector. It may, for example, be a precision V-groove, vacuum chuck, a micromanipulator, or a fusion or mechanical splice. The temporary joint shall be stable to with

45、in 10 % of the measurement uncertainty required in dB over the time taken to measure P0and Pn. A suitable refractive index matching material may be used to improve the stability of the TJ. Patchcords with direct connection to the light source may be used and the use of TJs is not mandatory. BS EN 61

The position of the fibres during the measurement shall remain fixed between the measurement of P0and Pnto avoid changes in attenuation due to bending losses. S TJ D P0R
