Full Description

This part of IEC 61978 applies to fibre optic passive chromatic dispersion compensators, all exhibiting the following features:
– they are optically passive;
– they have an optical input and an optical output for transmitting optical power;
– the ports are optical fibres or optical fibre connectors;
– they are wavelength sensitive;
– they can be polarization sensitive.

This document establishes uniform requirements for the passive chromatic dispersion compensator.
