Abstract
We report recent developments in a technique to measure the thickness of cladding remaining on polished single-mode fiber substrates. This technique relies on the measurement of the throughput attenuation resulting when a drop of liquid of appropriate refractive index is placed on the substrate. Applications to fiber couplers and other all-fiber devices are described.
