Insertion loss

Insertion loss is the decrease in transmitted signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber. It is usually expressed relative to the signal power delivered to that same part before insertion. Insertion loss is usually expressed in decibels (dB). Insertion loss=Pin /Pout In an optical fiber system, insertion loss is introduced by things such as connectors, splices, and coupler

Receiver Sensitivity

Sensitivity in a receiver is normally taken as the minimum input signal (Smin) required to produce a specified output signal.
For example
A receive sensitivity of -78 dBm is better than a receive sensitivity of -75 dBm by 3 dB, or a factor of two. In other words, at a specified data rate, a receiver with a -78 dBm sensitivity can hear signals that are half as weak as a receiver with a -75 dBm receive sensitivity.

Overload Power

Overload power of a receiver module may be defined as Maximum power with which a card can be withstand and work with its full functionality.

Figure in previous slide shows the fiber connection on OTM. Check if the fiber connection between boards is correct based on the fiber connection diagram and if the fiber on each board is well inserted. If not, correct the error immediately. Make the client sides of all OTUs access signals in either of the following two ways: The OTU optical power commissioning requirements that the input optical power of the client-side RX should be within the Dynamic range If the measured input optical power of the RX is not within Dynamic range than attenuation by fixed attenuators can be added to meet the specified optical power .

Test the output optical power of the OUT interface on the OTU. The value should be within the range from +1 dBm to 5 dBm and is 2 dBm normally. Test the receiving optical power of the Mn interface of the M40 and record the value. Standard per-channel input power = Maximum input optical power 10lgN, where N is the maximum number of wavelengths. Now we have to set the input power for through manual VOA provided at the input of OBU as -3dBm ( For 40ch.). Attenuation of the variable attenuator = Input optical power of the IN interface on the OBU Output optical power of the OUT interface on the M40.

On the other end the input for OPU is adjusted through EMS/LCT with electronic VOA provided at the input of OPU as -8(For 40CH) RC-OUT insertion loss on the FIU = Input optical power of the RC on the FIU Optical power of the OUT on the FIU Test the optical power of the OUT interface on the FIU when RM is disconnected. For the insertion loss requirement, refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission System Technical Description. Test the optical power of the TM interface on the SC1 and the RM interface on the FIU, and calculate the RM-OUT insertion loss. RM-OUT insertion loss on the FIU = Optical power of the RM on the FIU Optical power of the OUT on the FIU (disconnect RC interface)

1.

Figure on previous slide shows the fiber connection on OADM site. Check if the fiber connection between boards is correct based on the fiber connection diagram and if the fiber on each board is well inserted. If not, correct the error immediately. Perform the commissioning on the west OPU by setting the attenuation with help of electronic VOA provided at the input of OPU through LCT/EMS for specified power levels ( -8 dBm for 40ch.dBm) Test the receiving optical power of the IN interfaces of all west OTUs respectively and record all the values. Connect the optical power meter to the IN interface of the OTU with the largest optical power.

6. After the commissioning of the west receiving optical amplifier is complete, adjust the manual variable attenuator(A-11) between the west OPU and the MR2. Make the input optical power of the IN interface on the west OTU that has the highest receiving optical power reach 6 dBm, to ensure that the input optical power of the IN interfaces on all the west OTUs is within the range from 6 dBm to 8 dBm. 7. Test the optical power of the IN interface on the first west D40and calculate the insertion loss of the attenuator. 8. Insertion loss of the attenuator = Output optical power of the receiving optical amplifier OPU Input optical power of the IN interface on the D40. 9. Repeat Steps 3 to 6 to complete the commissioning on the second west D40 .

10. Use a Power meter to test the input optical power of the east OBU. Adjust the variable attenuator between the west MR2 and the east MR2(A-9), to make the average input optical power of the OBU as - 3 (FOR 40 CH.) 10. Use a Power meter to test the input optical power of the adding wavelengths of east M40.Adjust the variable attenuator of each wavelength conversion board and make the input optical power of the wavelength on the east M40 reach the standard value (-18dBm). 11. Repeat the same procedure to adjust the power levels of other direction.
