Relative intensity noise (RIN) measuring procedure 相对强度噪声（RIN）测量程序 This procedure describes a component test which may not be appropriate for a system level test depending on the implementation. 这是一个组件测试流程，根据应用环境来看，它可能不适合于系统级的测试。 A.5.1 Test objective 测试目标 When lasers which are subject to reflection induced noise effects are operated in a cable plant with a low optical return loss the lasers will produce an amount of noise which is a function of the magnitude and polarization state of the reflected light. 当受到反射引起的噪声影响的激光器在具有低光回损的电缆设备中工作时，激光器将产生一定量的噪声，这个噪声是反射光的大小和偏振态的函数。 The magnitude of the reflected light tends to be relatively constant. However, the polarization state varies significantly as a function of many cable parameters, particularly cable placement. 反射光的大小趋于相对恒定。然而，偏振态受许多电缆参数的影响而呈现出一定的函数关系，特别是随电缆的放置而显著变化。 In a cable plant which is physically fixed in place the variation is slow. If the fibre is subject to motion, such as occurs in a jumper cable, the change may be sudden and extreme. The effect is unpredictable changes in the noise from the laser with the result that the communication link may exhibit sudden and unexplainable bursts of errors. 在固定的电缆设备中，变化是缓慢的。如果光纤被移动，例如跳线，则可能会有突然或剧烈的变化。从而造成激光器噪声的不可预知的变化，结果是通信链路可能表现出突然和无法解释的错误。 The solution to this is to assure that the lasers used do not generate excessive noises under conditions of the worst case combination of polarization and magnitude of reflected optical signal. 对此的解决方案是确保所使用的激光器在反射光信号的偏振态和大小的最坏组合的情况下不会产生过多的噪声。 The noise generated is a function of the return loss of the cable plant. For the Fibre Channel the specified return loss is 12 dB resulting in the notation of RIN12 for the relative intensity noise. 产生的噪声是电缆设备回波损耗的函数。对于光纤通道，规定的回波损耗为12 dB，所以相对强度噪声用符号RIN12来表示。 A.5.2 General test description 一般测试描述 The test arrangement is shown in figure A.2 The test cable between the Device Under Test (DUT) and the detector forms an optical path having a single discrete reflection at the detector with the specifi
