Measurements, Characterization and Calibration in Fiber Optics

Course Contents:

Measurements of chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion - PMD, modal field diameter - MFD, attenuation, cutoff wavelength, core ellipticity and concentricity, core and fiber diameter, numeric aperture, refraction index profile, strain, etc, of monomode optical fibers
Multimode fiber measurements
Device characterization (attenuators, couplers, LASERs, LEDs, fiber Bragg gratings, filters and add-drops for WDM, fotodetectors, fiber amplifiers, fiber cables and ribbons, etc)
Instrument calibration (optical spectrum analyzer, power meter, OTDR)
Inspection and testing of fiber cleaves, connectors and splices

Duration: 24 Hours
