Scope and object
In the research and production environments there exists a rangeof test methods for characterizing the geometry of optical fibres.Furthermore, each test method may determine one or more of the manyparameters required for complete geometrical characterization. ThisInternational Standard describes the calibration of test sets whichperform end-face image analysis, also known as near-field orgrey-scale analysis. The principles, however, may be applied totest sets of a different type.
This standard addresses the calibration of measurements made onsingle-mode fibres only; however, this type of test set may also beused to measure the geometrical parameters of the cores ofmultimode fibres, but the evaluation of uncertainties associatedwith these measurements is beyond the scope of this standard.
The procedures outlined are to be performed by calibrationlaboratories and by the manufacturers or users of geometry testsets, for the purpose of calibrating geometry test sets and forevaluating the uncertainties in measurements made on calibratedtest sets. The calibration of fibre coating or cable measurementtest sets is not covered by this standard.
The object of this standard is to define a standard procedurefor the calibration of test sets for measuring the glass geometryof optical fibres.
