Abstract :
The attenuation of a tetrachloroethylene-filled liquid-core light guide has been measured for wavelengths between 600 and 1600 nm. A number of peaks appear in the curve, and some of these are identified with the effects of residual water. Attenuation troughs appear at 1090, 1205 and 1280 nm where, in each case, the attenuation is less than 8 dB/km.
