  3. Optical time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_time-domain...

    An OTDR. An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber.It is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer which measures the impedance of the cable or transmission line under test.

    As a consequence of rapid development of electronic computers, capability for integration of existing input, output, and storage devices was a determinant factor in their adoption. [8]

  5. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    Phase shift through a beam splitter with a dielectric coating. Beam splitters are sometimes used to recombine beams of light, as in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer.In this case there are two incoming beams, and potentially two outgoing beams.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  8. Dispersion-shifted fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion-shifted_fiber

    Dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) is a type of optical fiber made to optimize both low dispersion and low attenuation.. Dispersion Shifted Fiber is a type of single-mode optical fiber with a core-clad index profile tailored to shift the zero-dispersion wavelength from the natural 1300 nm in silica-glass fibers to the minimum-loss window at 1550 nm.
