The propagation theory of multimode and single-mode optical waveguide fibers is reviewed.
The subjects reviewed include basic propagation theory, the influence of the glass medium …

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation
aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind …

Germania glass was prepared from high purity GeO_2 powder. Refractive-index dispersion
was used to calculate material dispersion and to provide a model for representing the …

Single-mode fibers are the most advanced means of transmitting information, since they
provide extremely low attenuation and very high bandwidths. At present, long distance …

Chromatic dispersion of a single-mode optical fiber only 1 m long is measured by a newly
proposed interferometric method. Interference fringes are produced by two laser beams, one …

Over the last 37 years, particular interest has been directed towards exploring the
characteristics of the optical environment for sensing, giving rise to what would now be one …

Material dispersion measurements are reported on six characteristic lightguide glass
compositions. The measurements were made on bulk specimens and cover the wavelength …

A sinusoidal technique is reported, which allows simple and accurate measurements of
chromatic dispersion in optical fibers. It is based on the phase shift which a sinusoidally …

We have designed and fabricated single-mode silica fibres that have zero chromatic
dispersion within the 1.5–1.6 μm low-loss spectral region by controlling their waveguide …
