Abstract
Recent studies have pointed out the need for very thin (10 ¿m) fibre samples prepared for interferometric analysis of the refractive index profile of an optical fibre. We show that this is not necessary for all graded-index fibres with reasonable dispersion properties. Sample thicknesses of 125 ¿m, or more, can be used for fibres with a core diameter of about 50 ¿m.
