EN 60793-1-60:2017

Optical fibres - Part 1-60: Measurement methods and test procedures - Beat length

IEC 60793-1-60: 2017 defines test methods for both the phase beat length, and the group beat length. These two parameters are defined differently, and will give different results depending on the type of polarization-maintaining (PM) fibre. The phase beat length is the relevant parameter for the fibres ability to maintain a high extinction ratio. This is described in more details in Annexes A and B.
Keywords: phase beat length, high extinction

Fibres optiques - Partie 1-60: Méthodes de mesure et procédures d’essai - Longueur de battement

IEC 60793-1-60:2017 définit des méthodes d’essai tant pour la longueur de battement de phase que pour la longueur de battement de groupe. Ces deux paramètres sont définis de manière différente et produisent des résultats différents selon le type de fibre à maintien de polarisation (PM – polarization-maintaining). La longueur de battement de phase est le paramètre approprié de la capacité des fibres à maintenir un rapport d’extinction élevé. Les Annexes A et B décrivent ces éléments de manière plus détaillée.

Optična vlakna - 1-60. del: Metode merjenja in preskusni postopki - Dolžina udarca (IEC 60793-1-60:2017)

Ta del standarda IEC 60793 opredeljuje preskusne metode za fazno in skupinsko dolžino udarca. Ta dva parametra sta opredeljena različno in bosta podala različne rezultate glede na vrsto vlakna, ki ohranja polarizacijo (PM).
Fazna dolžina udarca je pomemben parameter zmogljivosti vlaken za ohranjanje visoke hitrosti ugašanja. To je podrobneje opisano v dodatkih A in B.
