Abstract
The structural properties of an optical fiber preform are directly transferred to the fiber state with the fiber actually becoming a scaled-down version of its parent.1 It is therefore conceivable to apply diagnostic procedures to the preform itself2 to evaluate its quality and eventual performance as a fiber.
