Fibre optic communication subsystem test procedures - Part 1-4: General communication subsystems - Light source encircled flux measurement method
IEC 61280-1-4:2023 is available as IEC 61280-1-4:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61280-1-4:2023 establishes the characterization process of the encircled flux measurement method of light sources intended to be used with multimode fibre. This document sets forth a procedure for the collection of two-dimensional fibre optic nearfield greyscale data and subsequent reduction to one-dimensional data expressed as a set of three sampled parametric functions of radius from the fibre’s optical centre. Estimation of the fibre core diameter is not an objective of this document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - improvement of calibration procedure and calibration traceability; - improvement of fibre shaker description and requirements; - addition of pulsed light sources; - removal of a poorly traceable calibration process using a micro positioner.

IEC 61280-1-4:2023 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61280-1-4:2023 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.L'IEC 61280-1-4:2023 stipule le processus de caractérisation de la méthode de mesure du flux inscrit de sources optiques destinées à être utilisées avec des fibres multimodales. Le présent document définit une procédure consistant à collecter des données fibroniques de champ proche, bidimensionnelles et en niveaux de gris, puis à les réduire en données unidimensionnelles exprimées sous la forme d’un ensemble de trois fonctions paramétriques échantillonnées du rayon par rapport au centre optique de la fibre. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: - amélioration de la procédure et de la traçabilité de l’étalonnage; - amélioration de la description et des exigences relatives à l’agitateur de fibre; - ajout des sources optiques pulsées; - suppression d’un processus d’étalonnage utilisant un micropositionneur, en raison de sa faible traçabilité.
Postopki preskušanja optičnega komunikacijskega podsistema - 1-4. del: Splošni komunikacijski podsistemi - Merilna metoda za pretok obkrožajočega svetlobnega vira (IEC 61280-1-4:2023)
Na voljo je standard IEC 61280-1-4:2023, ki vsebuje mednarodni standard in njegovo različico z revizijami, ki prikazujejo vse spremembe tehnične vsebine v primerjavi s prejšnjo izdajo. Standard IEC 61280-1-4:2023 določa postopek karakterizacije metode merjenja obdanega pretoka svetlobnih virov, namenjenih za uporabo z večrodnimi vlakni. Ta dokument določa postopek zbiranja dvodimenzionalnih podatkov o bližnjem polju optičnih vlaken na lestvici sivine in naknadno redukcijo na enodimenzionalne podatke, izražene kot niz treh vzorčenih parametričnih funkcij polmera od optičnega središča vlakna. Ocena premera jedra vlakna ni cilj tega dokumenta. Tretja izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča drugo izdajo, objavljeno leta 2009. Ta izdaja je tehnično popravljena izdaja. Ta izdaja v primerjavi s prejšnjo vključuje naslednje pomembne tehnične spremembe:
– izboljšanje postopka kalibracije in sledljivosti kalibracije;
– izboljšanje opisa in zahtev za mešalnik vlaken;
– dodajanje virov impulzne svetlobe;
– odstranitev slabo sledljivega postopka kalibracije z uporabo mikro pozicionerja.
