For Safety

Class 1, 1M and 3R indicate the danger degree of the laser radiation

Laser Safety

specified below according to IEC 60825-1:2007.

Class 1: Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions

of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.

Class 1M: Lasers emitting in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 4000

nm that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, but may be hazardous if the user employs optics within the beam. Two conditions apply:

a) for diverging beams, if the user views the laser output with

certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm; or

b) for collimated beams, if the user views the laser output with

certain optical instruments (for example, telescopes and binoculars).

Class 3R: Lasers that emit in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 10

where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially hazardous but the risk is lower than for Class 3B lasers.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

1.1.1 OTDR Function

An OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) measures the loss and reflection of an optical fiber.

The OTDR launches optical pulses into the optical fiber and also receives optical pulses that are returned by internal reflection in the optical fiber. The loss of the optical fiber is calculated by the OTDR from the measured received optical pulses. The elapsed time from when optical pulses are launched into the fiber until they return is used to calculate the distance to and loss of displayed faults in the fiber.

The loss and distance data is stored in memory and displayed as traces on the screen. For accurate measurement, an optical pulse launched into the fiber must reach the far end of the optical fiber and the backscattered light returned by the end surface must be returned to the OTDR before the next optical pulse is launched into the fiber. Consequently, a distance range corresponding to the length of the optical fiber being measured is specified by are set to Auto, the OTDR determines the optimum values for these settings.

The OTDR has functions of detecting and analyzing points in the fiber where loss and reflected light occur using the measured results. These detected points are called ‘events’, which are displayed on the Trace Analysis screen.

Refer to Section 4.3 “Starting Measurement” for more details.

1.1.3 Live Communications Detection Function

The live communications detection function detects the presence of optical signals used for live communications in the fiber before starting OTDR measurements.

A warning message is displayed if light with a wavelength of 1550 nm is detected.

Refer to Section 4.2.2 “Setting Measurement Method (Setup-Preferences)” for more details.

1.1.4 Visual Fault Locator (VFL) Option

It is a visible (red) light source. Since the light is visible, it is useful for locating faults in the dead zone by visually checking for diffuse escaping light.

Finding Faults in Optical Fibers

The OTDR, PON power meter, power meter, and fiberscope functions of the MT9090A Network Master are used in a subscriber’s home to troubleshoot faults in optical cables between the subscriber’s home and carrier’s office.

With the communication method called PON (Passive Optical Network), the optical signals at wavelength of 1310/1490/1550 nm are used for communications between the subscriber ’s home and carrier’s office.

The µOTDR modules find faults using optical signals at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. When optical signals at wavelengths of 1490 nm and 1550 nm are used for one optical fiber like the PON, it is difficult to measure the power at each wavelength using the optical power meter. The PON power meter function can identify which wavelength has the failure by measuring the optical power at each wavelength.

Since wavelengths of 1625 nm and 1650 nm are different from the wavelengths used for live optical communications, they have no impact on the live network. (Optical filter is required for ONU or OLT to block 1625/1650 nm light.)

1.3 Terminology

1.3.1 Explanation of Terms

This section describes the terms used in this manual.

BSC (Backscatter Coefficient)

The BSC is the proportion of reflected light to light propagating in the fiber during optical transmissions. The BSC varies according to the fiber structure and materials.

BSL (Backscatter Level)

BSL is the level of the light reflected back to the module. The BSL is proportional to the BSC and pulse width and inversely proportional to the Index of Refraction.

Figure 1.3.1-1 Definition of BSL

Dead Zone

The dead zone is a region of the optical fiber where BSL cannot be observed correctly due to traces caused by reflections. The following diagram shows the dead zone as defined in Appendix A: Specifications.

Figure 1.3.1-2 Dead Zone

1.3 Terminology

1-13

Outline

Dynamic Range

The dynamic range is the ratio of the maximum and minimum measurable levels. For an OTDR, it is the ratio of the level at the connection point of the measuring instrument and the noise level. Refer to Section 11.1.4 “Dynamic range” for the dynamic range measurement method.

IOR (Index of Refraction)

This is the IOR of the optical fiber. The OTDR calculates distance using the time taken for the optical pulse launched into the fiber to return and the IOR.

Pulse Width

This is the width of the optical pulse launched into the fiber. A large pulse width increases the power of the optical signal returned by the fiber and faults in the fiber, so the dynamic range becomes wider. Conversely, the dead zone and resolution also become larger. Using a shorter pulse width reduces the dead zone and resolution. Refer to Section 11.1.3 “Pulse Width” for more details about setting the pulse width measurement method.
