Minitutorial; fiber measurements–factory and field

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

As fiber and cable prices decline, it is essential that supplier manufacturing costs and user installation costs also be reduced. Because of enhanced fiber specifications, measurements are a significant portion of such costs. This tutorial traces the characterization history of multimode and single-mode fiber in nonlaboratory environments from before drawing until after installation. Mechanical and optical properties and approaches of several suppliers and users are covered.
