24、2005 0 Introduction 0.1 Chromatic dispersion in optical fibres Chromatic dispersion is the variation with optical light wavelength of the light propagation delay time in a length of fibre. This variation can cause bandwidth limitation in the fibre when used to transmit communication signals. For a m

25、ore detailed explanation, refer to Annex C and IEC 60793-1-1. 0.2 Chromatic dispersion (CD) test sets CD test sets are used to measure the chromatic dispersion properties of optical fibres and typically comprise an optical source of known wavelength(s), a fibre light input coupling and output coupli

26、ng means, optical detection means, and electronic or optical means of determining the optical delay or dispersion at the source wavelength. There are several variants each requiring slightly different calibration techniques. Refer to Annex C for further details. In general, all CD test sets produce

27、an output of fibre delay or dispersion versus the light wavelength, typically in graphical form. Thus, wavelength constitutes the x-axis and delay or dispersion the y-axis. 0.3 Overview of calibration procedures described in this standard The requirement to calibrate the CD test set, traceable to kn

28、own standards, is essential for quality control in fibre optic production, fibre research and similar activities. This standard describes the detailed procedures used to establish calibration of a CD test set. Calibration of a CD test set is established by applying known artefacts or standards (them

29、selves calibrated to reference standards) to the CD test set, measuring its response and adjusting (correcting) the CD test set to achieve results that match the standards used. In this way the CD test set results will be brought to close agreement with other CD test sets also calibrated in the mann

30、er described in this standard. Primarily the artefacts or standards used are as follows: a) wavelength artefact(s) used to calibrate the light source wavelength(s) used by the CD test set. This is to establish the correct excitation wavelength for the system (the x-axis) in order that the correct de

31、lay or dispersion (the y-axis) be determined subsequently; b) delay or dispersion artefact(s) used to calibrate the delay or dispersion response of the CD test set (the y-axis). Calibration can only be carried out using these artefacts. After a calibration has been completed, a calibration period is

32、 defined over which the CD test set is deemed to remain calibrated. At the end of this period, it would be necessary to establish if the CD test set calibration requires updating (changing); this can be performed using the artefact described above, or by use of a known standard fibre (reference fibr

33、e) whose chromatic dispersion is known. This is referred to as calibration checking. The fibre forms a stable source of known dispersion and may be used as a simple dispersion artefact. If it is found that the calibration has not changed within the required uncertainty limits, then it is possible to

34、 simply extend the calibration period again by a defined amount. EN 61744:2005 6 If, however, it is found that the CD test set measurement results have changed significantly compared to the user requirements (i.e. the test set has drifted), then calibration using the artefacts (if not already carrie

35、d out at this time) should be carried out and the calibration renewed. The above rationale ensures that the CD test set calibration is only ever performed using known standards (artefacts), but that if the CD test set is sufficiently stable over the calibration period selected, then a simple check o

36、f calibration can suffice to ascertain this and to (justify) allow the extension of the calibration period. The extension can be repeated indefinitely over many calibration periods, provided the CD test set continues to remain within uncertainty limits over the entire set of calibration periods. In

37、order to be considered calibrated and in conformance with this standard, a CD test set must have its calibration adjusted based on comparison to artefacts for the primary parameters of wavelength and delay dispersion. In all cases, this calibration of primary parameters is necessary, but may or may

38、not be sufficient, to ensure calibration of the CD test set to the required uncertainty. In addition, it may be necessary to also confirm or compensate the calibration state of a CD test set using a calibrated reference fibre. The CD test set calibration compensation is explained more fully in Annex

39、 D. It should be noted that use of a calibrated reference fibre alone is not sufficient to ensure calibration of a CD test set. It should also be noted that if a calibrated CD test set undergoes calibration compensation using a calibrated reference fibre, the scope and extent of its calibration is l

40、imited to the conditions used at the time of calibration compensation (i.e. wavelength, fibre type, loss regime, etc.) Care should be exercised that test sets calibrated and compensated in this manner are used only within the appropriate limits of their calibration extent. The adjustments required t

41、o effect compensation on one set of wavelengths for one fibre type may increase the uncertainty of measurement of other fibre types with different minimum dispersion wavelengths. In this document, the reference medium for wavelength and the velocity of light is assumed to be in normal air. However,

42、since the velocity of light in air (or rather, the refractive index of air) is dependent on barometric pressure, humidity and temperature, it is sometime advantageous to reference the velocity of light in vacuum, and hence define the refractive index =1,0000000. This leads to a slight shift in the w

43、avelength scale of the order of 0,3 nm to 0,4 nm depending on the wavelength value, between the so-called “wavelength in air” (as assumed in this document) and the wavelength in vacuum, also called “vacuum wavelength”. Vacuum wavelength is typically used where very accurate dispersion control is req

44、uired such as in long-haul or submarine fiber cable systems. CD test sets for measuring fibers used in these applications are typically calibrated to vacuum wavelength, e.g. using a wavemeter, or by mathematical correction of results obtained with an internal air wavelength calibration. In order tha

45、t the user be familiar with the conversion from air wavelength and the mathematical corrections involved, an informative annex, Annex E, is provided. 7 EN 61744:2005 CALIBRATION OF FIBRE OPTIC CHROMATIC DISPERSION TEST SETS 1 Scope This International Standard provides standard procedures for the cal

46、ibration of optical fibre chromatic dispersion (CD) test sets. It also provides procedures to perform calibration checking on CD test sets whereby an extension to the test set calibration period may be obtained. This standard is applicable to all types of CD test sets, with the exception that measur

47、ements on multimode optical fibres are excluded. The purpose of this standard is to define a standard procedure for calibrating optical fibre chromatic dispersion (CD) test sets. The detailed calibration steps used vary according to the measurement technique used in the CD test set. Whilst it is ack

48、nowledged that chromatic dispersion also occurs in multimode fibre and this fibre may be measured on many CD test sets, this standard will restrict discussion to single mode fibre measurements only. The purpose of the procedures outlined in this standard is to focus manufacturers and users of CD tes

49、t sets toward the reduction of measurement uncertainty in chromatic dispersion determination in optical fibres under all applicable conditions. The procedures apply to calibration laboratories and to the manufacturers or users of CD test sets for the purpose of a) calibrating CD test sets; b) setting specifications of CD test sets; c) extending the calibration period of an already calibrated CD test set. Use of the procedures also allows correct evaluation of CD test set uncertainty, relative and trace
