Spectral dependence of insertion losses of variable
optical attenuator was randomly selected as lab 2
[3].
5.1 Task
Measure spectral dependence of insertion losses for
a variable optical attenuator.
5.2 Devices, Aids, Materials
Cable patchcord, variable attenuator, cleaning
components.
5.3 Practice
After connecting outputs of transmitter and inputs of
receiver, setting the values of optical source current
according to the instructions, connecting variable
attenuator and setting its position according to the
instruction list we measure the real attenuation of
attenuator for several wavelengths. Transmitter is
set by following way. Input DC without connection
on channel CH1, mA measurement for CH1, photo
emitter #3 (LED 660 nm) on channel CH1 is optical
output. And receiver is set by following way. DC
measurement as function, photo detector #4 (PIN Si
2.5 mm) on analogue channel is optical input and
measurement is realized for 660 nm wavelength.
By setting 0 dB value at the variable attenuator,
the new reference value is realized. This is followed
by setting the values of attenuation according to the
table 2 and we write real values of attenuation
(measured ones) in the table. Measurements are also
repeated for other wavelengths. Measured values of
attenuation are compared in table and shown in
graph.
Value of optical source current is set according
to the table 2. Photo detector #2 (PIN InGaAs) was
used for measurements for 1300 nm wavelength.
