Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensators - Part 1: Generic specification

Publication date:   Oct 17, 2014

Scope

IEC 61978-1:2014 applies to fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensators, all exhibiting the following features:

- they are optically passive;

- they have an optical input and an optical output for transmitting optical power;

- the ports are optical fibres or optical fibre connectors;

- they are wavelength sensitive;

- they may be polarization sensitive. This standard establishes uniform requirements for the passive chromatic dispersion compensator. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2009, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

- introduction of new terms and definitions;

- revision of classifications;

- addition of Annex E.
