scope:
This part of IEC 61300 describes the various methods available to measure the wavelength dependence of attenuation A( ë) and return loss RL( ë), of single-mode passive optical components (POC) used in fibre-optic (FO) telecommunications. It is not, however, applicable to dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) devices. Measurement methods of wavelength dependence of attenuation of DWDM devices are described in IEC 61300-3-29.
Definition of WDM device types is given in IEC 62074-1.
Three measurement cases are herein considered:
- Measurement of A( ë) only;
- Measurement of RL( ë) only;
- Measurement of A( ë) and RL( ë) at the same time.
These measurements may be performed in one direction (unidirectional) or bi-directionally.
