FOTP-196 Guideline for Polarization-Mode Measurement in Single-Mode Fiber Optic Components and Devices
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
TIA | 1999 | 26 |
The document discusses the application of the pre-existing fiber
test procedures for PMD measurement in fiber to the special case of
fiber components. Special precautions are required to avoid several
potential problems, and these problems and precautions are
described for each of the applicable procedures. This document does
not describe the test procedures in detail, merely the variations
required for component measurements. In particular, for amplifiers
and also narrowband devices, specific precautions are given.
This FOTP also does not apply to components that have in excess
of 10 dB of polarization-dependent loss (PDL).
