What is BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 about?
BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 is a series on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components. Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is a fibre-optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end customers. BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 defines the encircled angular flux measurement of multimode waveguide light sources, in which most of the transverse modes are excited. The term "waveguide" is understood to include both channel waveguides and optical fibres but not slab waveguides.
The optical source multimode waveguide mentioned in BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 is long enough to ensure that all cladding modes are stripped by passage through the waveguide. Often, the fibre coating or tight buffer is sufficient to perform this function. Alternatively, a cladding mode stripper is used in the source launch multimode optical fibre.
Who is BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 for?
BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 on fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components is useful for:
- Telecommunication equipment and component manufacturers
- Design engineer
- Quality control personnel
- Research and development facilities
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53?
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components architecture implement a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fibre serves multiple endpoints by using unpowered (passive) fibre optic splitters to divide the fibre bandwidth among the endpoints. BS EN IEC 61300‑3-53 focuses on fibre-optic interconnection devices and passive components and provides you guidance on each optical fibre component and its functional applications by applying measurement and examination methods.
BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 guides you about test and measurement procedures that are encircled angular flux (EAF), fθlens imaging, direct imaging measurement methods helps you to measure multimode optical fibre attenuation of optical fibres.
BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 describes launching conditions that provide abnormal modal power distribution (MPDs) which deliver improper attenuation values because of the unevenness of optical power distribution in the core. In order to avoid these conditions, the encircled angular flux (EAF) measurement for the EAF template compliance test is operated using BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53.
Using BS EN IEC 61300‑3‑53 you can define the encircled angular flux measurement of multimode waveguide light sources, in which most of the transverse modes are excited.
