Abstract
Apparatus for measuring the effective refractive index in optical fibers, in which a source sends light radiation, the wavelength of which can be varied within a predetermined interval, into a fiber span, and a detector collects the radiation intensity of the radiation collected by the detector as the wavelength varies, in order to determine the oscillation period of the fiber transmittance or reflectivity and to obtain the effective refractive index from such period.
