Splitter module qualification due to design changes

Splitter module: 

Splitter module Fiber input Fiber output Splitter component

Splitter component: 

Splitter component Output Fiber Array Input Fiber Array Splitter chip Splitter housing Adhesive Adhesive

Optical SplitterPossible major modifications: 

Optical Splitter Possible major modifications Scenarios: PLC chip Input Fiber array Output Fiber array The housing structure and interface adhesives remain the same The qualification tests are performed at the component, not module, level The combination of a fiber array (input or output) and PLC chip will be treated as a new device, and will be qualified as option A in the splitter/module design changes

All required optical measurements include: 

All required optical measurements include Optical band-pass from 1260 to 1625 nm Insertion loss Uniformity (derived from the insertion loss measurement) Return loss of the input port Directivity Polarization Dependent Loss all at 1310nm, 1490 nm, 1550nm, 1625nm Polarization Mode Dispersion at 1550nm (due to lack of calibration standards at the other wavelengths)

Qualification due to Fiber Array change (scenarios 2 and 3) input and/or output fiber array: 

Qualification due to Fiber Array change (scenarios 2 and 3) input and/or output fiber array 7 1x32 and 7 1x16 splitters for each group (component level) 11 units for each group if a single product is qualified Initial characterization Insertion loss Qualification per GR 1221 groups B and E (partial) Final characterization Insertion loss
