Comparative measurement of Rayleigh scattering in single-mode optical fibers based on an OTDR technique
A new technique for comparing the Rayleigh scattering coefficients of single-mode step index fibers is described and its theoretical limitations are discussed. The validity of the technique is proven using telecommunications-grade fibers. Of particular interest is the variation of scatter found with...
