Abstract
In modern optical networks the use of attenuators has grown due to the necessity of limiting in specific sections the high power transmitted. One of the main problems related to the use of this kind of components is their dependence on the wavelength, on temperature and on the input power. In this work the main features encountered in spectral attenuation measurement on connector type fixed optical attenuators are described, and a set-up for their characterization is proposed.
