Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Basic test and measurement procedures - Part 3-7: Examinations and measurements - Wavelength dependence of attenuation and return loss of single mode components

IEC 61300-3-7:2009(E) describes the various methods available to measure the wavelength dependence of attenuation and return loss, of single-mode passive optical components (POC) used in fibre-optic (FO) telecommunications. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. Changes from the previous edition of this standard are to reflect changes made to IEC 61300-1 and covers unidirectional and bi-directional methods of measurement.

Dispositifs d’interconnexion et composants passives à fibres optiques – Méthodes fondamentales d’essais et de mesures - Partie 3-7: Examens and mesures - Affaiblissement et affaiblissement de réflexion en fonction de la longueur d’onde des composants en unimodal

IEC 61300-3-7:2009 décrit les diverses méthodes disponibles de mesure de la dépendance par rapport à la longueur d’onde de l’affaiblissement A(l) et de l’affaiblissement de réflexion RL(l), pour les composants optiques passifs (POC, passive optical components) unimodaux utilisés dans les télécommunications à fibres optiques. (FO). Toutefois, elle ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs à multiplexeur par répartition en longueur d'onde à forte densité (DWDM – dense wavelength division multiplexing). Les méthodes de mesure de la dépendance par rapport à la longueur d’onde de l’affaiblissement des dispositifs DWDM sont décrites dans l’IEC 61300-3-29. L’IEC 62074-1 donne une définition des types de dispositifs WDM. Trois cas de mesure sont pris en considération dans le présent document: - Mesurage de A(l) seulement; - Mesurage de RL(l) seulement; - Mesurage simultané de A(l) et RL(l). Ces mesurages peuvent être effectués dans une seule direction (unidirectionnel) ou de manière bidirectionnelle. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2000. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les modifications par rapport à l’édition précédente de la présente norme visent à refléter les modifications apportées à l’IEC 61300-1 et traitent des méthodes de mesure unidirectionnelles et bidirectionnelles.

Ta del standarda IEC 61300-3 opisuje različne razpoložljive metode merjenja odvisnosti slabljenja A(λ) in povratnih izgub RL(λ) enorodnih pasivnih optičnih komponent (POC) od valovne dolžine, ki se uporabljajo v telekomunikacijah prek optičnih vlaken (FO). Ne uporablja se za naprave za zgoščenovalovno dolžinsko multipleksiranje (DWDM). Metode merjenja odvisnosti slabljenja naprav DWDM od valovne dolžine so opisane v standardu IEC 61300-3-29. Definicija tipov naprav za valovnodolžinsko multipleksiranje (WDM) je podana v standardu IEC 62074-1.
