  • Abstract
    A nondestructive technique is presented for determining the refractive-index profile of an optical fibre from its forward-scattered pattern arising from a normally incident laser beam. This method does not require any index-matching liquid and is not limited to single-mode fibres. It uses as essential information only the angular positions of the extrema in the measured pattern.
