Demonstration should follow manufacturer specifications and ensure optimal effectiveness of fiber cabling using
- light source/power meter (LSPM)
- optical loss test set (OLTS)
- optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR)
- visual fault locator
- microscope.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are intrinsic and extrinsic attenuations in optical systems?
- What is the difference between modal and chromatic dispersion?
- What types of dispersion result from light traveling at different angles?
- What is the difference between insertion and return loss?
