Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring the properties of an optical waveguide fiber. The apparatus is free of apertures, lenses, and mirrors usually required in the measurement of certain waveguide fiber properties. The apparatus employs an optical switch at the launch end of the optical fiber to be tested and another optical switch at the output end of the optical fiber to be tested. The switches preserve the mode power distribution, particularly the spot size, of light passing therethrough. The apparatus may be used to measure bandwidth or attenuation of a multimode waveguide fiber, both of which are affected by launched and detected mode power distribution.

Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil qui sert à mesurer les propriétés d'une fibre guide d'ondes optique et qui est dépourvu des diaphragmes, lentilles et miroirs généralement requis pour la mesure de certaines propriétés des fibres guide d'ondes. Cet appareil utilise un commutateur optique à l'extrémité d'émission de la fibre optique à tester et un autre commutateur optique à l'extrémité de sortie de la fibre optique à tester. Ces commutateurs préservent la distribution de puissance de mode, en particulier la taille du spot, de la lumière les traversant. Cet appareil peut servir à mesurer la largeur de bande ou l'atténuation d'une fibre guide d'ondes multimode, deux propriétés qui sont affectées par la distribution de puissance de mode émise et détectée.
