Abstract

VFL-350 (Visual Fault Locator) Light Source is used to check single-mode and multimode optical fiber cables and components for faults or to locate individual fibers in a bundle. Loss as intrinsic loss (absorbsion and scattering), mechanical loss (splices and connections) are important to estimate the amount of errors in data transmission process (both in single as well as multimode fibers). That is one of the most important parameter of change intensity profile of laser beam. Standard light source that used in this project is an optical pen that have semi guassian beam with out put power 1 mw(class 1) & λ=635 nm that make follow result: Beam propagated from this light source have semi guassian shape and result of some transverse mode. Beam intensity profile of this light source after launching in multimode fiber optics (length=2m & connector: have 20% loss compared by beam intensity profile of optical pen.(connector loss). Situating a filter in path of multi mode fiber optic, don't any change in beam intensity profile of multi mode fiber optics.
