Optical-Fiber Power Meter Comparison between NIST and KRISS

Abstract

We describe the results of a comparison of reference standards between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST-USA) and Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS-R.O. Korea) for optical fiber-based power measurements at wavelengths of 1302 nm and 1546 nm. We compare the laboratories’ reference standards by means of a temperature-controlled optical trap detector. Measurement results showed the largest difference of less than 2.5 parts in 103, which is within the combined standard (k=1) uncertainty for the two laboratories’ reference standards.

Optical-Fiber Power Meter Comparison between NIST and LAMETRO

“…In our previous work [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], we reported the results of international comparisons of reference standards used in the calibration of optical-fiber power meters (OFPMs). Those reports described the results that were obtained by use of open laser beams [1,4,6] and optical-fiber patchcord cables [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] at nominal wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm.…”

In this paper, the reference standard maintained by LAMETRO was 2 https://doi.org/10.6028/jres.124.030 calibrated by the two laboratories at wavelengths of 1310.0 nm, 1550.2 nm, and 1625.0 nm by launching optical power from the same reference optical-fiber patchcord cable.…”

Cryogenic primary standard for optical fibre power measurement

“…Current optical fibre power meter calibrations are traceable to national standards through calibrated working standards such as silicon, germanium or InGaAs photodetectors, or electrically calibrated pyroelectric radiometers [1,2]. International comparisons between national laboratories assure equivalence of the local scale [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Further, the international electrotechnical commission (IEC) has published a standard titled calibration of fibre-optic power meters, IEC 61315, as an aid to standardisation [9].…”
