Convenient and reliable joining of optical fibres is essential for building optical networks. Neil Savage reports that the machines performing the task are becoming smaller and increasingly ...
Abstract: Spectral measurements of the Rayleigh backscattered light in a single-mode fiber are performed for a white input source. The measured spectrum of the backscattered light from a 45 cm-long ...
Abstract: Few-mode fiber (FMF) systems present a cost-effective alternative to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems for increasing the data throughput in short-range intensity-modulated and ...
