Abstract:

This program investigated input-output coupling techniques capable of providing full duplex operation on a single strand, multimode fiber waveguide used the optical time domain reflectometer OTDR to determine fiber attenuation characteristics investigated the steady-state mode-mixing phenomena of a 4-km length of graded-index fiber improved the OTDR and developed low-insertion-loss bi-directional access couplers for multimode fiber waveguides.
