Abstract
A method is provided for calibrating measurement signals obtained with optical fibers, wherein a reference material having a known reference temperature is arranged at one end of an optical fiber, the reference material is heated up to at least its reference temperature, the signal received by the fiber when the reference temperature is reached is supplied as a calibration signal to a measurement device and is compared there with the theoretical value for the reference temperature, and the difference is used for calibration. In addition, a corresponding device is provided for using the above method for calibration or determination of the attenuation of an optical fiber.
