Abstract :
Concerning short distance fiber optic devices, down to less than one meter long, a phase-sensitive optical low coherence reflectometer (OLCR) has been developed. This technique is well suited because it allows fast complex reflectivity measurements and overall working on short fiber lengths with a very good resolution.
