Scope

This part of IEC 60793 defines test methods for both the phase beat length@ and the group beat length. These two parameters are defined differently@ and will give different results depending on the type of polarization-maintaining (PM) fibre. The phase beat length is the relevant parameter for the fibres ability to maintain a high extinction ratio. This is described in more details in Annexes A and B.
