  • Abstract
    The results of a detailed experimental analysis on joint loss measurements by the back-scattering method are presented. A comparison with more usual insertion-loss technique is performed. High sensitivity and accuracy are found when measuring very similar fibres; a suitable procedure is indicated for measuring slightly different fibres.
