Wavelength dependence of the scattering loss in fluoride optical fibers.
Scattering losses as low as 0.025 dB/km at 2.55 microm have been measured in short lengths of fluoride-glass optical fiber.These measurements were made on several 5-7-cm lengths of fiber. Measurements were also made at various wavelengths to determine the wavelength dependence of the optical loss.
