Abstract :
Bandwidths derived from pulse-dispersion measurements have been obtained as a function of length for tetrachloroethylene-filled samples. The results show that collimated launching and/or detection gives considerable improvements over wide-angle beam excitation and detection for lengths below about 300 m, but little above about 800 m. A degree of agreement is obtained with results for some theoretical models.
