Formulas for calculating the refractive index profile of optical fibers from their transverse interference patterns.

چکیده
A set of successive approximation formulas for calculating the refractive index profile of optical fibers from their transverse interference patterns has been derived. The probing ray refraction due to the index gradient in the core is corrected for by these formulas, and the accuracy of index determination is improved. The error is confirmed to be less than 3 x 10(-3)% of the index difference by means of computer simulations. The index profiles of some optical fibers are practically determined with the help of these formulas.

In fourier domain optical coherence tomography, we can measure the optical thickness ( refractive index n times thickness d), to obtain the retinal layers in order to diagnose many disorders. In this work, we introduce a new method for measurement of refractive index and physical thickness of multiple layers simultaneously by Fourier domain optical coherence tomography, without additional infor...
متن کاملPropagating modes in gain-guided optical fibers.
Optical fibers in which gain-guiding effects are significant or even dominant compared with conventional index guiding may become of practical interest for future high-power single-mode fiber lasers. I derive the propagation characteristics of symmetrical slab waveguides and cylindrical optical fibers having arbitrary amounts of mixed gain and index guiding, assuming a single uniform transverse...
متن کاملNovel multifocus tomography for measurement of microstructured and multicore optical fibers
A novel multifocus tomographic algorithm for reconstructing an optical fiber’s cross sectional refractive index distribution from transverse projections is described. This new algorithm is validated against measurements of both microstructured and multicore optical fibers, which were not previously measurable. Optical fiber tomographic measurements recently made by several research groups using...
متن کاملMeasurement and comparison of the temperature-dependence of refractive index of water and Plexiglas phantoms by interferometry method for their use in optical calorimetry
In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
متن کاملAlgorithm performance in the determination of the refractive-index profile of optical fibers.
Three algorithms for computing the refractive-index profile of azimuthally symmetric optical fibers via the inverse Abel transform are compared to determine their relative accuracies. Appropriate values of algorithm parameters are also determined. The direct differentiation algorithm, the iterative algorithm, and the Fourier algorithm are used to calculate the refractive-index profile from simu...
