It is known that two reflections in a fiber optic part act as a Fabry-Perot etalon and will convert laser pahse noise into intensity noise.1,3 Likewise, theory has shown that double scattering within an optical fiber itself will generate much noise:4 We present here the theory and experimental verification of a new phenomena, that of a fiber‘s backscatter interacting with a discrete reflection and generating noise.
