FOTP-48 Measurement of Optical Fiber Cladding Diameter Using Laser-Based Instructions
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| TIA | 1990 | 16 |
INTRODUCTION
This test procedure is used to measure the cladding (outside)
diameter of an optical fiber using a laser-based instrument. It is
used on-line in the fiber drawing process prior. to the application
of the protective buffer coating(s). It is also used off-line as a
quality inspection method. In this application, it is normally used
instead of FOTP-45.
Control of the cladding diameter is required to assure the
performance of the fiber in cabling, connectorization and splicing.
Uniformity of the cladding diameter along the length is also
required.
