Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of evaluating integrity of a fiber comprises transmitting a measurement light beam through the optical fiber and measuring an intensity of a combined reflection of the measurement light beam. The combined reflection includes a proximal end reflection component and a distal end reflection component. The method further comprises separating the proximal end reflection component from the combined reflection to obtain a calibrated intensity measurement; and analyzing the calibrated intensity measurement to determine the integrity of the optical fiber.
