Fiber Optics Project: Determining Refractive Index w/ Int.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a project focused on determining the refractive index of optical fibers using multiple beam interference techniques. The user seeks information on the derivation of Fizeau fringes in optical wedges during transmission and reflection. Two key references mentioned are "OPTICS" by E. Hecht and "INTRODUCTION TO OPTICS" by Pedrotti and Pedrotti. Additionally, the project is suggested to relate more closely to optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) rather than solely Fizeau fringes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multiple beam interference principles
  • Familiarity with Fizeau fringes and their applications
  • Knowledge of optical fiber technology
  • Basic concepts of optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of Fizeau fringes in optical wedges
  • Study the principles of optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR)
  • Explore advanced topics in fiber optics, including refractive index measurement techniques
  • Review the contents of "OPTICS" by E. Hecht for foundational knowledge
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in optics, optical engineers, and professionals involved in fiber optics projects who require a deeper understanding of refractive index determination and interference patterns.

Hello everybody
I have my project on "Determination of some parameters (mainly the refractive index)of an optical fiber using multiple beam interference"
i need some data about :
Fizeau fringes shape derivation of an optical wedge at transmition and reflection.
any help..?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
2 books:
"OPTICS" By E. Hecht
and
"INTRODUCTION TO OPTICS" By Pedrotti and Pedrotti.

It's unusual that you need info on fizeau fringes. Your fiber optics project sounds more like an OTDR problem (optical time domain reflectometry).
