Optical fibre diameter variations and their effect on backscatter loss measurements

Optical fibre diameter variations and their effect on backscatter loss measurements
Optical fibre diameter variations and their effect on backscatter loss measurements
Diameter variations in optical fibres are shown to affect backscatter loss measurements by a mechanism which primarily involves attenuation of the backward travelling light. A simple model which predicts anticorrelated loss features when measured from opposite ends of the fibre is verified experimentally.

Abstract

Diameter variations in optical fibres are shown to affect backscatter loss measurements by a mechanism which primarily involves attenuation of the backward travelling light. A simple model which predicts anticorrelated loss features when measured from opposite ends of the fibre is verified experimentally.
