S14 Fiber Refractive Index Profiler

An available diagnostic tool for optical fiber production

Full Description

The S14 Refractive Index Profiler provides accurate, precise characterization of the refractive index profile of single-mode, multimode, and specialty fibers using the RNF (Refracted Near Field) technique. Fiber geometry parameters and mode field diameter at user-specified wavelengths can be calculated from the S14 index profile data. Manufacturers can also use the data to predict other fiber transmission parameters such as cut-off wavelength and chromatic dispersion
