Ja. Ferrari et al., RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM FOR REFRACTIVE-INDEX PROFILE OF FIBERS FROM TRANSVERSE INTERFEROGRAMS, Optics communications, 117(1-2), 1995, pp. 25-30
A novel retrieval algorithm for the refractive-index profile of optica
l fibers from transverse interferograms is presented. This algorithm a
llows a quick and simple index-profile reconstruction even in the pres
ence of measurement noise and near the fiber axis. The response to noi
se of different retrieval algorithms is discussed and computer simulat
ions are presented.
