Abstract

A system for measuring a combination of optical transmission properties of fiber optic waveguides. A polarized light pulse probe is injected into one end of the optical fiber. Reflections from discontinuities within the fiber are unpolarized whereas reflections of the probe pulse incident to its injection remain polarized. The polarized reflections are prevented from reaching a light detector whereas reflections from the discontinuities reaches the detector. 2 figs.

System for testing optical fibers

Patent Davies, T.J.; Franks, L.A.; Nelson, M.A.

A system for nondestructively determining the attenuation coefficient, 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 alpha ( Lambda ) values over the measured spectrum.
