Frequently Used Terms
Frequently Used Terms
Some specific terms are used frequently in this user guide.
Term
Definition
APD
Avalanche photo diode.
Beating length
Length required in the fiber for the Fast Polarization to
be ahead by one complete period over the Slow
Polarization.
Bidirectional
A combination of two traces taken from opposite
directions of a same fiber. The trace can overlap fully,
partly, or not at all.
Cumulative PMD The PMD value up to a distance in a fiber.
Depolarization
Light that is not polarized. In the case of the FTB-5600,
we use this term to define zone on the fiber where the
instrument cannot perform a measurement since light
is entirely depolarised. For more information, see page
DGD
Differential group delay.
Estimation table
Table used to estimate the PMD value of a link by
changing values of target strong PMD sections.
FUT
Fiber under test
OTDR
Optical time domain reflectometer.
PBS
Polarization beam splitter
PMD
Polarisation mode dispersion.
PMD coefficient
Represents the PMD characteristics of one particular
length of the fiber. Since PMD adds to the square, its
unit is typically calculated in picoseconds per square
root of kilometer.
PMD resolution
Sets the minimum PMD value to be measured on the
link.
