a. Laser at 10 µs and 25° C
b. Guaranteed value corresponding to the one-way difference (in dB) between the level of back-diffusion extrapolated at the
beginning of the fiber and the level containing 98% of noise, after 3 minutes of averaging, with the largest pulse width
(according to IEC 61749 standard).
c. Except for the 8136RMA (29 dB)
d. Typical value corresponding to the difference (in dB) between the level of back-diffusion extrapolated at the beginning of
the fiber and the RMS noise level, after 3 minutes of averaging, with the largest pulse width.
e. EDZ measured at 1.5 dB below the peak of a non-saturated reflecting event at shortest pulse width.
f. At 1310 nm
g. ADZ measured at +/- 0.5 dB on the basis of a linear regression from a reflectance of type FC/UPC (-55 dB) at shortest
pulse width, at 1310 nm.
