- 1) Test fibers are Non-S type, 1mmФ.
- 2) Measured by using bialkali PMT and blue LED(445nm).
Otherwise than descriptions mentioned above, various WLS fibers are available.
Attenuation Length Measurement
We routinely measure attenuation length by 3m fiber sample for all production.
The attenuation curve (for example) in the figure is approximated by the one exponential expression 
except very near distance. The attenuation length 
is calculated using the data between x=100cm and x=300cm.
