(Main)Optical fibres - Part 1-42: Measurement methods and test procedures - Chromatic dispersion
Optical fibres - Part 1-42: Measurement methods and test procedures - Chromatic dispersion
Four methods are described for measuring chromatic dispersion: (a) phase shift, (b) spectral group delay in the time domain, (c) differential phase shift, and (d) interferometry. Methods (a), (b) and (c) apply to class A1 graded-index multimode fibres and class B single-mode fibres. Method (d) applies to single-mode fibres, class B1 to B3 in the 1000 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range. The methods can be applied to laboratory, factory and field measurements of chromatic dispersion.
Lichtwellenleiter - Teil 1-42: Messmethoden und Prüfverfahren - Chromatische Dispersion
Fibres optiques - Partie 1-42: Méthodes de mesure et procédures d'essai - Dispersion chromatique
Quatre méthodes mesurant la dispersion chromatique sont décrites: (a) déphasage, (b) temps de propagation de groupe dans le domaine temporel, (c) déphasage différentiel, et (d) interférométrie. Les méthodes (a), (b) et (c) s'appliquent à la classe A1 fibres multimodales à gradient d'indice et à la classe B fibres unimodales. La méthode D s'applique aux fibres unimodales de catégorie B1 à _B3 dans la plage de longueurs d'onde de 1000 nm à 1700 nm. Ces méthodes peuvent être appliquées à des mesures de dispersion chromatiques effectuées en laboratoire, en usine et sur site.
