Characterization of Gradient Index Fibers
Robert Leonard, Matthew Marshall, Seth Hyra +3
Gradient index (GRIN) fibers are used to improve the design of many fiber optic devices. However, the properties of the GRIN fiber must be determined to optimally engineer a device…

Phase space analysis of two-wavelength interferometry
Robert H. Leonard, Spencer E. Olson
Multiple wavelength phase shifting interferometry is widely used to extend the unambiguous range (UR) beyond that of a single wavelength. Towards this end, many algorithms have bee…
