title: Long-range backscattering experiments in single-mode fibers.
abstract: A setup was built that was suitable for practicable long-range backscattering measurements in single-mode fibers. To avoid nonlinear effects and to reduce costs, low-input powers from a laser diode were used. Three different fibers (0.8, 2, and 3 km long) were tested, and experimental results are given.
