Interferometric measurement of optical fiber transit time

Abstract

In some optical logic concepts waveguides provide required optical signal delays between stages. Transit times or group delays must, therefore, be specified and measured. A relatively simple interferometric technique is reported for determining the transit time through single-mode optical fibers up to 4 m In length or ~20 nsec in delay. Precision is estimated at a few parts in 105. This approach is generally related to prior work on fiber dispersion characterization by interferometry.1,2
