Abstract
This paper will discuss the measurement of those optical performance properties that are unique to single-mode fibers; chromatic dispersion; cutoff wavelengths associated with the fundamental and higher-order modes; and mode diameter or spot size. I shall review the various techniques available for measuring these properties and emphasize those that are in widespread use in research and development laboratories.
