Abstract
The authors have clarified experimentally the dependence of loss characteristics on wavelength for thermally diffused expanded core (TEC) fiber applied to connectors. Based on the relationship between the loss characteristics and the expanded mode field diameter (MFD), they suggest a method for measuring the MFD in TEC fibers nondestructively.<>
