scope:
Describes the procedure to measure the ability of an optical fibre connector to maintain a given extinction ratio across the connection in pm fibre. In this test we limit the measurement to the most common case of nearly polarized light propagating in pm fibre. The term "extingtion ratio" used here refers to the proprtion of light propagating in the two orthogonal polarization axes of the fibre and is more properly defined as "polarization crosstalk". "Extinction ratio" is the commonly used term.
