Abstract :
An optical fibre was circulated between various laboratories in Italy and the attenuation characteristics measured, using different experimental arrangements. The results were compared, and found in excellent agreement, demonstrating the repeatability of the technique and its suitability as a reference method for attenuation measurements.
