Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components – Basic test and measurement procedures – Part 3-14: Examinations and measurements – Error and repeatability of the attenuation settings of a variable optical attenuator (Edition 3.0)
This part of IEC 61300 provides a method to measure the error and repeatability of the attenuation value settings of a variable optical attenuator (VOA). There are two control technologies for VOAs@ manually controlled and electrically controlled. This standard covers both control technologies of VOAs and also covers both single-mode and multimode fibre VOAs.
