International Comparisons of Standards in the Area of Fiber-Optic Communication and Information Transmission Systems

The results of international comparisons in the field of fiber-optic communication and information transmission systems, in particular, for the average power of optical radiation (COOMET PR-S6 and APMP PR-S2 projects) and chromatic dispersion in an optical fiber (EURAMET PR-S3 project), are considered. Data on comparisons as regards the length of the optical fiber (APMP PR-S8), polarization mode dispersion (COOMET PR-S9 project), and wavelength for fiber optics (COOMET PR-S8 project), all of which are now being performed, are presented.
