Reliable high-speed proof testing of optical fiber

$15.00

The proof tester concept is based on the recent theory about the ineffectiveness of the dwell time on the final fiber strength and the strength decrease during the unload time. Everyday problems like whipping and tension control during fast ramps are discussed. The maximum slowdown ramp after a fiber break is determined through tests examining the effect of deceleration on attenuation.
