Reflectometric measurements of thermally expanded core area

M. RATUSZEK, Z. ZAKRZEWSKI, and J. MAJEWSKI
In this work an analysis method of one-way optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) measurements has been presented. This method uniquely confirms mode field radii matching in diffusion transit area of the thermally expanded core (TEC) of thermally connected single mode telecommunication fibers. A comparison of reflectometric measurements with theoretical calculations of losses in TEC areas has been demonstrated.
Key words:

loss measurement, optical fiber splicing, reflectometry, splicing loss
