ALCATEL. To establish validity of the link by measuring its performances from end to end. Measurements made on optical fibres refer to CCITT recommendation G 652 for single mode fibers and C 653 for dispersion shifted fibers. The characteristics of optical fibre transmission mostly concern transmission attenuation and determines the ability to transmit data across the link. It can also reveal mechanical strains that may cause later fibre breakage. There are two types of attenuation measurements: - Optical power attenuation measurement : measuring the power launched into the fibre as well as that restored at the receiver input enables accurate calculation of the complete link attenuation. Att (dB) = Tx P (dB) - R x P (dB) - Back scattering measurement: Measuring the light scattered into the fibre, to draw up the attenuation curve. This measurement shows any variation in attenuation, and allows the location to be determined.
