| Abstract: | A new spectral attenuation measurement system using a Fourier transform spectrometer is developed. The Fourier transform spectral attenuation measurement (FT-SAM) system makes the signal acquisition time for a wide wave-length range of 1.0?4.2? much shorter than measurement with a conventional dispersive spectral attenuation measurement system. The spectral attenuation for a fluoride glass single-mode fibre, with a minimum loss of 3±1 dB/km at 2.5?m, is measured with this system. |
