Abstract

See full text

A high backscattering optical fiber comprising a perturbed segment in which the perturbed segment reflects a relative power such that the optical fiber has an effective index of neff, a numerical aperture of NA, a scatter of Rp→r(fiber) that varies axially along the optical fiber, a total transmission loss of αfiber, an in-band range greater than one nanometer (1 nm), and a figure of merit (FOM) in the in-band range. The FOM being defined as:
