Title: System for testing optical fibers

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6457542

A system for nondestructively determining the attenuation coefficient, ..cap alpha..(lambda), of low-loss optical fiber wave guides is described. Cerenkov light pulses are generated at a plurality of locations in the fiber by a beam of charged particles. The transit times of selected spectral components and their intensities are utilized to unfold the ..cap alpha..(lambda) values over the measured spectrum
