Telcordia GR-1209-CORE, Generic Requirements for Passive Optical Components,
GR-1221-CORE, Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Passive Optical Components
GR-468-CORE, Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Optoelectronic Devices Used in Telecommunications Equipment a
GR-326-CORE, Optical Cable and Connectors to support the Photonics Industry.
Other Telcordia GRs pertaining to the optical component industry.
Garwood Laboratories, Inc offers full testing for optical components. Testing is being performed to the Telcordia standards for both passive and active optical components and devices.
With the addition of a 40 channel DWDM optical component test measurement system analyzer, Garwood can provide services second to none. The measurement capabilities include, but are not limited to, Polarization Dependant Loss (PDL), insertion/return loss, waveshape, peak and center wavelength, crosstalk (both adjacent and non-adjacent) as well as bandwidth and passband ripple. The system contains a built-in C-Band tunable laser source that can sweep the entire C-Band, for complete component characterization, a requirement for GR-1221.
