IEC 60793-1-48: 2017 applies to three methods of measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD), which are described in Clause 4. It establishes uniform requirements for measuring the PMD of single-mode optical fibre, thereby assisting in the inspection of fibres and cables for commercial purposes. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: removal of the SOP approach. IEC 60793-1-48: 2017 applique aux trois methodes de mesure de la dispersion de mode de polarisation (PMD), qui sont decrites a lArticle 4. Elle etablit des exigences uniformes pour mesurer la PMD dune fibre optique unimodale, de facon a aider a controler les fibres et les cables a des fins commerciales. La presente troisieme edition annule et remplace la deuxieme edition publiee en 2007, dont elle constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a l’edition precedente: suppression de lapproche par les etats de polarisation (SOP).
