UNDERSTANDING OPTICAL RETURN LOSS ORL

Method for measuring return loss of optical modules

Method for measuring return loss of optical modules

Optical Return Loss (ORL) is the ratio between the light launched into a device and the light reflected by a defined length or region. ORL can be measured using two measurement techniques: optical continuous wave reflectometry (OCWR) or optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR). the reflection above the fiber backscatter level, relative to the source pulse, is called reflectance. As shown in the figures above, the OCWR Testing setup for reflectance or return loss tests of connectors or passive fiber components per industry standards (TIA FOTP-107 or IEC 61300-3-6) using a light source.

Standard values ​​for optical fiber transmission loss

Standard values ​​for optical fiber transmission loss

For multimode fiber, the loss is about 3 dB per km for 850 nm sources, 1 dB per km for 1300 nm. To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and compares that to an estimate of what is a reasonable loss for that cable plant. The estimate, called a "loss budget" is calculated using typical component losses for. Fiber optic loss, also known as optical attenuation, refers to the light loss between the transmitter and receiver. This type of testing is the most accurate testing available and is the most accurate characterization of the fiber optic system's apability. Fiber optic loss is one of the most fundamental parameters in optical network engineering, yet it is often misunderstood as a purely theoretical value used only during design calculations.
