Refractive Index Profiler

S14 - Photon Kinetics (PK)

The S14 Refractive Index Profiler complements optical fiber preform analysis measurements by providing highly accurate and precise characterization of the refractive index profile of drawn single-mode, multimode, and specialty fibers using the RNF (Refracted Near Field) technique. The S14 index profile data produces fiber geometry information directly. Manufacturers can also use S14 data for the prediction of fiber transmission parameters such as mode field diameter, cut-off wavelength, and chromatic dispersion.
