Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The spectral properties of single-mode optical fibers and optical waveguides are reviewed including loss, dispersion, coupling, and reflection. Measurement techniques for characterizing these waveguides are described and experimental results are presented. These include measurements of the intrinsic and bending losses for single-mode optical fiber, field mode size, transmission, and reflection losses for waveguide structures when single-mode fibers are used to couple power into the waveguides.
