Measuring the refractive-index profile of optical fibers by the cladding-mode near-field technique

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new measurement system has been developed that simply determines the refractive-index profile of any optical fiber by analyzing the propagation of cladding modes. Measurement accuracy was verified by a comparison with the refractive near-field method, and a sufficient resolution level was achieved to produce the fine structural details in single-mode fibers.
