Abstract

For the measurement of spectral attenuation of optical fibers in the range 800-1600 nm, an instrument based on a halogen-tungsten lamp pulsed at a few Hz has been designed and developed. This approach has shown to have substantial advantages over the usual chopped-light technique. With a low-noise preamplifier (-110 dBm sensitivity), the instrument offers a >40 dB dynamic range of attenuation measurement in monomode fibers, and can operate in both analog and digital mode.

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering category covers resources concerned with applications of electricity, generally those involving current flow through conductors, as in motors and generators. This category also covers the examination of the conduction of electricity through gases or a vacuum as well as through semiconducting materials. Topics include image and signal processing, electromagnetics, electronic components and materials, microwave technology, and microelectronics.
